Guest guest Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Jane,woo hoo! those are some huge GAINS!i hope life is getting easier for you now.best,abby Funny, I didn't think I was getting all that much out of this group recently, because I was so distracted by all the massive stress going on in my life. But then my computer broke and I REALLY missed you all! I'm so glad to have a new computer and be back online. Thanksgiving was nothing to worry about this year, and that was a nice change. I neither obsessed on what I wanted, nor what I couldn't have. I just showed up and ate what my friend had prepared for us and was doggone grateful not to have had to cook myself this year, when I wasn't up to it. When I noticed I was full, I stopped eating. Sure, if I'd been alone, I'd probably have stopped sooner, but my stomach didn't hurt and I enjoyed everything and I even got hungry again a few hours later, so I think I did fine. My weight has been stable for months at the 10-12 pounds down from when I started IE in July, despite humongous stress on several fronts. I count this as a huge success. Not really the weight, but simply the fact I haven't been GAINING or obsessing. Food hasn't been much of an issue most of the time. I'm not eating just what I need, since obviously, being morbidly obese, that would entail losing, but always in the past when life was hardest, I gained, big time. Hopefully soon I can begin prioritizing self-care again, as things are beginning to show initial signs of settling down some. But I'm not beating up on myself for not being able to tackle everything at once at all. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
