Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey everyone - I just discovered IOWL yesterday, and have already heard the first 10 podcasts! I think I was hooked when hit the nail on the head as to why I was overweight. It was one of those things that I knew deep down, but didn't think anyone would ever actually verbalize it! I've struggled with weight most of my life, up and down, and what I found, was that when I was down, and in a size 10 or 12, I was very confident, which was terrific, but that in that confidence, I became flirtatious, and ended up ruining the 14 year relationship I was in. I got a lot of attention, and I just didn't handle it correctly. Since then, I've been in a relationship for 3 years, and almost feel that I've gained the weight to protect myself and my relationship. We did a lot of talking last night about this, and I realize by admitting it and facing up to it, I can get rid of the demon, get rid of the weight and still feel very confident and secure in my relationship. What's wonderful is to know that my partner loves me no matter what my size....but I'm ready to get back on track, acknowledge why the weight is here, deal with those issues openly and honestly, and get from a current 18 back down to at least a 12. Thank you , for enlightening me!! -SmilinCuz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
