I weighed myself this morning (monthly weighing) and I lost two pounds last month, in April. Compared to everybody else, I know it's a terribly slow weight loss. Since September 2008, I've lost a total of 14.5 pounds. I started in September at 276, and am now at 261.5. Once I lose two pounds more (hopefully) in May, I'll be into the 250s! I am taking this weight loss ten pounds at a time, because I have so much to lose. Altogether, I have a total of 176 pounds to lose, coming from 276 to 115. I am five foot, 1/2 inch tall, and have a small to medium frame, and am 57 years old.
I am a compulsive overeater, belong to OA, and see a therapist for my food addiction issues. Mainly, my problem is self hatred for being fat. I know that's very simplified, but my late father taught me to hate myself by telling me I was "gross, fat, and ugly" when I was 13, and I believed him, and felt "fat" from then on (even though I wasn't at the time), and eventually, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy, except for the ugly part. I've never been ugly, and if you think I am, just ask my husband how he feels about me and my body size (dress size 26-28). He just thinks there is more of me to love, that's it. How blessed I am to have him in my life!
