Update!

I haven't posted much lately but have been lurking and reading and thought I would share. 

Six months ago I was really struggling.  I was having anxiety attacks at the though of food in general.  I was turning down and avoiding situations where I would be around food that I didn't make simply because I couldn't control what was in it.  Shopping was a nightmare.  I would go to the store and leave in tears, not buying anything.   I started to see a therapist (who I LOVED!) then sadly, he quit.  I saw another one one that I just didn't click with and moved on to the third (LOVER her!!).  Therapy has been a god send.  I no longer feel like I'm being controlled by food but I finally got on top of it and I now control the food.  I don't need xanax to eat out or go shopping :)  

I've started to date (that's a whole other topic!) and people at work have said that I seem more confident.  I actually feel more confident!  After some fluctuation during the last 6 months, the weight is starting to come off again.  But the best thing - I have finally come to like me and my new (although melted looking) body

Congratulations.  I am glad to read about how your life is taking a positive turn.  Thank you for sharing this.

I was just thinking about you the other day.  I live in Novi which is only a couple of miles from you.  We need to get together.  I haven't seen you post for a while and was concered.  I am happy you are doing well. I work on the afternoon shift from 3-12.  

I am SO happy for you!  That's wonderful

Being happy with yourself is the most important thing.  The weight is always going to be a project.  I have worked on it all my life and expect to continue to do that for the rest of my life.

So glad to see that things are getting better for you.  I'm local to you as well, in Ypsilanti.  I have been going to a peer led support group in Livonia once a month.  There is another one coming up on March 11th.  Let me know if you're interested in Joining us.
