Finally went to a therapist today - LONG

Hi Farrah!! Congrats on confronting what is plaguing you!!  That is a HUGE first step to take. If you would like, drop over to the I WILL posting and join us in a daily affirmation  :)  For me it helps to see things in print and know that tomorrow I have to 'fess up on how I did. You can do this! *hugs*

Farrah, Thanks for the honest post. It's inspiring. Please let us know how  it's going. Pat

I'm grateful you shared this.....and I sincerely hope things improve for you by going to this therapist!!

~HUGS~ good luck!!

Farrah,  Thank you for sharing this post.  As you said, many people can be helped and learn from this.  I have been saying for a couple of months that I need to get to a therapist (Sandie and Amy both gave me a contact for that), but have I done anything yet?  NO....after your post - because your issues and mine are very similar, I think I am going to look up that PM I got from Sandie and give her a call to set up an appointment.

Thank you, again, and keep us posted on how it is going! Edited to update: I called the therapist and got voicemail, so hopefully she will get back to me soon.  Just wanted you to know that I am following through on this - after my appt. with the nut today and your post....thanks for the kick I needed!

WTG Laurie! Doesn't it feel good to do something for yourself?

I don't know how often you will be going, but keep the good info comming, very usefull tips.

Farrah - thank you or posting this - I too am going through many of the same things you are - chocolate (mmm m&m's) too many carbs and not doing what i know i need to - i was going to talk about depression at my next pcp appointment because i just can't seem to get/stay motivated. i've lost over 90 lbs, regained 20 and am stuck in a cycle I don't want to be in - I'd love to be a NO CHOCOLATE partner with you (if there's room) I need to stop sabataging myself and start doing what I know I need to do -  thanks again for posting :)
