Guest guest Posted July 31, 2000 Report Share Posted July 31, 2000 << I found hurt feelings, running out of breath, and constant torturing of myself that next Monday for sure I would REALLY go on a diet and change my life. 50 years worth of Mondays came and went. I lost and gained. I lost and gained. >> Dear , Flo puts it so eloquently. All that wasted time - years and years! - of wanting the elusive thinness, and never being able to attain it. I've achieved a number of other goals, professionally and personally, but I've raised thinness to sacred levels. THAT'S unhealthy. I don't want to be fashion model thin. I just want to walk into a party, or a school meeting, or church, or wherever, and not be so self-conscious. I want to exercise without feeling dangerously winded after 5 minutes. I don't want that feeling of despair in stores, in packing for a trip, in taking a trip, to be reminded, over and over, that I weigh 270 pounds, and that I wear 26's and 28's, and that there ain't a lot to chose from in those sizes. As Flo said, welcome home. This is the right place to share about your weight, your hopes and your fears. Best wishes from Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
