Mels, I hope you find the therapist that you will click with. Like Gwen said, it may take you visiting several until you find "the one". Don't give up, or throw in the towel...EVER!

I always thought therapy was for weak people, but after seeing a therapist for over 7 months now, I realize it's for STRONG people. It takes a very strong person to admit that they need someone to safely talk it out with, someone with no pre-conceived judgments, someone who is compassionate and empathetic and will help you find the tools you need to succeed in whatever you do.

Mels, I wanna see you be brave! (Listen to the song I linked - I want that for YOU!)

Oh, one other thing: when I fixate on how far away I feel from goal, I look at the Before/After pics in this site. It's not the change in body size that I like, it's the looks on some of the faces--like they have new life. It's very energizing.

I watch you tube videos of 'dogs wearing shoes'. It cracks me up and leads me into other cute/funny animal videos.

OMGosh Melsbells,

I love this idea...I think we should do this on a regular basis. Post songs and photos that inspire and vent I may steal the idea from you if that is OK?

I know it's hard to talk to someone about why we eat ourselves to death, but after 14 years I can share with you what I have experience personally and seen posted on the boards over and over again.

You have to get it right between the ears before you re-arrange your plumbing Those that do, get to goal and keep it off long term.

Take care,

Kathy

Any time I am stressing my babies get me through....
