I know what I want to say, and I know how it might sound. Just please don't think that I gained weight on purpose, and stayed this weight on purpose.I HATE, HATE, HATE being this weight.
I don't know how many people in this group know that I had cancer when I was 30 yrs old. I was skinny at the type naturally, but I jut kept losing more. I was a size 2, but with the cancer I went down to a double 00. Even after I was cure, I went back to a size 2, but if I dropped even 2 lbs, I just freaked out and thought it was the cancer making me drop weight again. This happened year after year, after year.
When I started gaining weight, I actually let out a sigh of relief because I would say to myself "well, at leave I know i don't have a tumor. At least I'm not sick. Because if I was sick, I wouldn't be gaining, I would be losing. It made me not afraid like I used to be.
I didn't stay this weight to keep me freaking out about my cancer from coming back, but I've had a few years where I haven't have break downs thinking it's back. That has been a bit of relief to me.
Anyway, that's just me talking about my cancer and how my weight (heavy and thin) affects me. I can't wait to be thin again, but NOT looking forward to the anxiety returning.
But I know if I stay this heavy, I'm at greater risk of another cancer, so I just have to do the best I can.
Don't mind me rambling. Just something I wanted to get off my chest.

Yvette, you are very motivated and just lose slowly and eat healthy and this is a journey that just takes time. We cannot and should not rush it. Take care.
