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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
