Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm more than two years out. Let me tell you, the fear of failure CAN be a good thing, if you use it. I'm at goal, but remember, and still sometimes have fears that I will gain it all back and go back to being the wallflower at the orgy that I sometimes joke that I was. I weigh myself every day, but that's what works for me. If it makes you crazy and you beat yourself up about it, don't do it. If (like me) you use it as a tool, not so much to look at the day-to-day numbers but rather the trend, then it's okay. One thing I have found is that I cannot let myself think " It's okay, I'm normal now. " I am NOT normal (no, I don't just mean mentally!), never have been, never WILL be! I will always have to keep that in mind and act accordingly. It's worth it though. You CAN do this! Pamela wrote: > yeah, I'm really struggling again as well....

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Thanks, Eleanor, for the post. And yes, I agree, we will never be normal; we will always have to struggle with our food addiction/deamons. Pam bEleanor Oster wrote: I'm more than two years out.
