Re: Yikes! Just turned 30, and heavier than everier

[Guest guest]

Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!! 30 is an amazing age!!!!

I actually gained 1.2 lbs over Christmas, but enjoyed every glass of wine

and meal. My son-in-law is an executive chef for Google and he did most of

the cooking. I did the shopping (good thing since we were snowed in! I know

the 1.2 lbs will melt off easily - actually it's 2.2 lbs that will melt off

easily! I had 1 lb to go to my personal goal. I am naturally slender and

have resiliant health. (thanks and community!!)

Holidays are always fun exciting and yummy.

I don't konw what you can do for your Mom, maybe share your IOWL podcasts?

Or would she resent them/ Food addicition is like any - when we supplement

something for what we really crave, it is an ugly senseless cycle.

Wow, I love the tree, ornaments shopping spree, my kinda of gal!!!!! I need

a new one this year! We have a little one and I want a big yummy one!!!

this is a beautiful day!!!

COV,

I can relate to the family history thing. Both my parents were compulsive

overeaters, sex addicts, and I would not be surprised if my mom was bulimec

in her younger years as well. I've always been embarrassed by thier behavior

and never felt safe.

Probably the extra weight was a way to keep safe from sexual attention,

since there is so much trama around that. (conflict resolution time)

Anyway my dad has diabetes and still continued to eat horribly and drink

alcohol. He is now in an assisted living program because he wouldn't eat

right or take his insulin as needed. He now has dementia as well.

The podcasts are great!

take care,

Hi ,

Thank you for your kind reply. I am sorry to hear of the struggles

that you and your family have been going through.

Trauma. Yep. Check that.

Perhaps one of my " limiting beliefs " is that I feel safer when I'm

uglier. I'm uglier when I'm fatter, ergo let the blub accumulate.

Hmm.

Food for thought.

I'm SO wiped out. I think I'm gonna do some work on body image issues

with my therapist this friday. He's a pretty good role model, keeping

his health intact in advancing age by taking good care of himself.

hi LE,

I am *so* pleased for you being naturally slender! And pleased for me

too! I can do it, I'm sure of it. I just have to do some healing and

forgiveness and work on myself. I'm pretty excited to do this... yes,

I know- the burst of initial motivation is to be expected, but

sometimes that's what we have, and that's what we get to work with.

So impressed with your attitude

COV

(30? really a good age? maybe this year I'll MAKE it great!)
