I know how to eat, what to eat...ad nauseum...God, I am pathetic...!! Lost 30 pounds and now have gained it back...
Would love to just stay in bed,cozy, warm, under the covers and not have to deal with people or anything!! at all...
AND, this is soooooooooooooo not me!
I am an upbeat person, funny, happy and love being with people...
It's self abuse...no one really knows or perhaps understands...
Thoughts???
Thanks,

"Five more minutes, Mom?"

I respect the hidey-hole. Sometimes it is needed, just to reset the coping clock. Just to take a breaking from constantly wrangling with "deep emotional issues."

I also fear it, because it is so easy to turn away from facing problems that we DO need to face. Until we do, we're only really going to live lives on the surface of things.

You know who you are. Don't let this take it from you. It isn't about the weight, it is about your life.

I completely agree. Maybe you need to take a day off. We all do.

you don't have to always be that upbea fun person. Give yourself a break and feel sad. As for the weight it doesn't define who you are. If you really need to lose it keep track of it when it creeps back on. 30 pounds don't come on in a few days. So when you realize you are losing control, see a doctor and talk it out.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
