I haven't written for a long time because I stumbled a lot with my dieting efforts.
Why? Because I had trouble finding the reasons why again. And my motivation was totally lost. Not in my reasoning, but my bad feelings and my depression drowned them. So I started to work on those again, and tried to get moving when I ate something "bad". I know I should replace vices with good food, and I know I will get there, but if I do not minimize the damage I am doing, I will not even move in that directi…

Loving yourself is hard for so many people because they feel like they don't deserve to be loved. I know, I was there, still am sometimes. But you know what....you ARE just as good as the thinnest most beautiful super model out there today. Society focuses on outter beauty and they miss out on a lot of good friendships and even great loves becuase they can't see past what is on the outside. That is their loss. At more than 100 pounds overweight and 40 years old, I enrolled in college. And as I walk down those halls with the young, skinny girls I know that I am just as good as they are. So I just smile and say hi and I have found that they are really very freindly and nice. I stopped being afraid to talk to people and just started to live. So start living the life you want now, don't wait until you lose the weight. What you think of yourself is more important that what others think of you.

Today was the first day I really felt the feeling of my body change: I was energetic, I didn't want chocolate, I bought tons of fruit and had a great serving of it - and loved it. It feels so empowering!
It's happening, and it's no magic trick! It just feels like one!
I do have clinical depression, but I haven't seen it that way before. I am angry. I think we all are about our weight and what it has taken from us. I'm here because I can't seem to do it on my own. And maybe I was hoping to meet friends who are fighting the same battle and maybe to get a kick in the pants every now and then. (which I think you gave me, so Thanks!) And too, I wrote that right after finding out that my hubby has diabetes, so we really are faacing huge changes that need to be made. So I was a little overwhelmed. I need to do the little steps, but I get discouraged 'cause I slip and don't do them like I should. Makes me feel like a failure and yes, angry. But I'm happy to be able to join here and get support and hopefully give support later. Anywho... Thank you!
By the way, love your page, slide, and song.
