Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Well, I survived the dinner party last night. I looked reminiscent of past selves and my hair actually turned out great for reasons I'll never understand. So... the physical self didn't arouse too much upset for me. And, I was much more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have been at one of these gatherings. In the past, even at my thinnets (or maybe especially at my thinnest) I was so self-conscious I could barely breathe. In fact, I'm sure I used to dissociate. Yet I always dieted whenever I had a special event coming up, or at least up until a few years ago. At some point I stopped torturing myself just to go someplace " special " . Anyway - I'd call the evening a big success in that I was as comfortable as I've ever been, and the food did not dazzle me one way or the other. In fact, even after a couple of glasses of wine that were poured for me, I did not overeat and I was in touch with my level of hunger and fullness levels. I ate half of my salmon, and when I discovered that the dessert was ho hum, I stopped. So - yay. The world did not stop revolving on its axis because I'm well endowed all over; and I got through the fear of being at a formalish affair looking like the way I look! Know what I mean? Thanks y'all for the supportive comments along the way. Sandarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
