Carmelita.. you know I totally love you.  BTW I totally need to respond to your private email but life has been crazy busy.. I wasn't ignoring you.. promise!

I have had pictures on my profile of me for a long time but don't really go pointing them out and I honestly hate taking pictures.  I've been overweight all of my life and just got really used to focusing on non-superficial stuff.  To me the things I am really proud of or struggle with you can't take a photo of.  

Like for instance I'm really proud that I haven't taken a single bite of anything that wasn't low carb since January of 2010.  I was really proud when I was able to walk around an amusement park (and at times running) for 10+ hours and felt great.  I was really proud when I ran for 3 minutes straight (still working on improving my time).

But like you I struggle every day with the head hunger, head demons, and behaviors.  I come here for the support and to talk about the struggles I have because I truly want to improve in those areas.  I share what has helped me conquer the other areas, but to be honest I can tell a lot of people think I live too strictly and don't relate. :)

But they understand that I'm only doing it because the strictness is the only way I find works to combat my demons.. it is my offense against those demons. Not something I want to do but something I HAVE to do.  Doesn't really feel very fun to brag about something that's not that fun. :)

I definitely do see a therapist and to be honest part of the reason I hate taking photos (other than the fact that I'm just not a superficially inclined person) is that in my head I've always been thinner than I actually am. Sort of the opposite of dysmorphia. When ever I see myself in pictures I think... WTF.. who took that lousy picture of me and made me look so fat! Haha..

Sorry if in my posts I give the impression that life is nothing but struggles.  Once I conquer something I'm always looking for the next challenge or thing to improve or refine, so I guess my posts give that impression because I'm always looking forward, not backward. :)

I'm only here talking about what I need to work on.. perhaps I need to share more about what has worked for me.  Still totally feel connected to you girlfriend right through this computer screen. BIG Hugs...

Thanks guys.. I was telling my friend about this today.. she has seen that neighbor when she was at my house so she knew what I was talking about. I should mention again that this was a little old filipino lady who spoke with an accent.. you gotta take that into context to see how funny it really was.
