The NEXT level - the gorgeous body curvy or not...

Yes I?m ready to be all I can be as a beautiful ( formerly mo) woman.

I eat a (delicious) but voluntarily restricted for health and weight reasons diet every day ... I also excercise ( every day) .

I am SO TIRED of being beaten up in casual conversations as ? undisciplined? ... shoot if I EVER let myself BINGE I?d LITERALLY qualify for my 600 lb life .

GRRR

how do YOU feel about this challenge we're all facing? How fo you cope with it or fight it every day?

Weird; it posted twice. I like what White Dive says - count calories and weigh yourself frequently but honestly I guess years of beating myself up for being " husky" ( and feeling bullied and unaccepted by other kids ) took its toll - I just shudder at the very IDEA of dieting.

Im sure there are others here who share my feelings. How do you coax yourself to lose in a friendly self- loving supportive way?

I think the best way to think of it for me is that I live life knowing I'm not on a diet. The way I eat just is my diet. Does that make sense lol? It may not. Saying I'm on a diet, is just like saying "Oh, I'm trying Weigh****chers" or the "South Beach" diet or whatever cleanse is out there. However, the way I way I eat now is just how I eat. It's my every day normal. It's my normal diet. So I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, really.
