Topic: Why do we Eat? What do we REALLY want?
I was wondering if any of you watched Oprah yesterday? It made me sad. She was taking on so much shame and really kicking herself for gaining back some weight. I know shame and self hatred was big motivations for me to keep eating-just trying to hide it instead. It really reminds me of what many of us are going thru right now.
I still do not understand why we have food issues.Makes me mad that my addiction will always be there. Wi**** would go away. However, it did reasonate with me when she started talking about why she ate and what she was really wanting in her life that she was still filling with food.
I guess it is not just a diet or exercise program, it is getting to the bottom of our motivations. This is rambling but I wonder if this would be a worthwhile topic for us as a group to explore??? Not everyone wants to go to a shrink or can afford to go but maybe we can keep helping each other to make it further on down the road.
Also, did anyone watch "diet tribe" on lifetime?? Another interesting take on the weight loss reality show. I keep watching and hoping for ahaaaa moments.
This just seemed timely in light of what has been going on with us....

Topic: RE: It's Inky
Being at goal weight does not stop the feeling that I am a failure also. Maybe it is just the wintertime blues??? Very tough month for me. As you can probably tell, I have not been my upbeat self.
That is why I keep saying this is a lifelong journey. Losing weight is only part of it.

Topic: I am still here
I am doing well. Lisa just called me and told me I needed to come and let everyone know I am alive. I am dating now and he is an awesome guy. I love him dearly and he loves me for who I am. I posted a picture of him. soon I will post a picture of me and him. I am weighing in at 168 and wearing a size 12. I am so happy. SO tell me what you been up to..
Topic: RE: It's Inky
I know exactly what you have been feeling as far as the possibility of failure looming over the horizon / fear, etc. The thought of having a bmi within the "normal" range seems realistic but still so far out of my reach. Once this baby is here in April I have decided to give it everything I have. We have to really buckle down and commit to optimism - I think it can happen.
