ONCE A FATTY, ALWAYS A FATTY...

If we truly believe this, aren't we setting ourselves up for a self-fulfilling prophecy? And isn't that just another way of giving ourselves permission to eat the way we used to? I'm having a very difficult food-demon day...Maureen

i don't have an excuse..... to answer your question- yes; we are setting ourselves up for failure etctec but it just isn't easy...i read pammies notes about getting antidepressants for a few weeks- i have been on them for about 6 1/2 years and this week i am going almost cold turkey cuz my scrip ran out and i have to go to a new doc to get more- i'm working like nuts- 10.75 hours today and could've stayed longer 'cept my sweetie was going nuts at home...blah blah blah sorry reenie- not what you wanted to hear- you are not alone- heck i can't even part with my fat clothes- unfortunately i gave away my 16's so i can't feel comfy right now but i still have my 18's 20's 22's! my 14's are tight! and i have that midriff bulge again! wow- ramble??? must be in the air!!!!!!

Reenie, You of all people need to lose this thinking as of right now. You have done amazinly well at this & have no reason to complain or think you are a Fatty by any means. This my not be what you want to hear either, but after all the @#$%% stuff I have been through over the last 2 1/2 months the best medicine is turning everything over to God. It does work. Let him deal with all of it. I don't need anti-depressant anymore & my Life has made a 180 degree turn from where it was & I have to even say WOW, Once in awhile. (just believing it) And it keeps getting better everyday. It isn't Great, but is is so much better than it was 2 months ago. Hang in There Girl. I still have some bad days, but for the most part they are few & far between. Marilyn, the Bearlady
