Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Welcome Mel so glad to have you in the group I am so glad your stomach is singing I also love warm ham and cheese sandwiches. Evva Hi. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mel. I'm 41 years old,married and the mother of three. I worked for 20 years outside thehome and now work from home (freelancing).I'm sure everyone can relate when I say I've been dieting for 30years. Well, it's not 30 years for everyone but I'd place bets thatmany of us started dieting before we even hit high school.I've never been this overweight before. Previously, the most I weighedwas 140, but typically was about 120-130. I'm five foot one. I weigharound 170 right now. I gained unbelievably during my second and thirdpregnancy.I've been eating disordered forever and until I hit my mid to late30s, generally "stayed thin" by starving myself. I would alternatelybinge. Now the bingeing had taken over.I just want to feel like a normal person. I mean in the way I eat. Ino longer have a "number" in mind for how much I "should" weigh. Wherehas that ever gotten me? When I was thin, I sure wasn't happy. BecauseI was always starving. All I ever thought about was food.Anyway, nice to meet everybody. I had a ham and cheese warm sandwichtonight and my stomach is SINGING. My stomach is SO happy. What's sowrong with a happy-feeling stomach? What's so virtuous about agrumbling one?Hugs to everyone and I look forward to getting to meet you.------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Amen! But I understand why people feel guilty about feeling satisfied on a slighlty full tummy because the whole time it was noble to feel hungry. Sent from my iPhone Welcome to the group! And there is NOTHING virtuos about a grumbling tummy! On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 9:26 PM, autumngirl896 <autumngirl896> wrote: Hi. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mel.
