Joyce, I know this is going to sound sappy, but when I read your post I cried. I cried for the memories of every single time that this has happened to me. Where I start out so well and before I know it it's all over. The guilt and shame that accompanies that perceived failure is enough to send one deeper into despair. I remember so vividly the amount of times that my family would call and ask "how is the diet going?" And I would mumble and make excuses and say that this isn't the time that it is going to work. I feel your despair Joyce, but I also see that you wrote out your problems and came back here, to this support board, to tell us all. I cannot and will not tell you that you just have to jump back on that horse. That's a ridiculous notion and too "rah rah" for us obese folk who don't respond well to cheering. We respond best to others who understand our situation and how we have struggled for so long with this demon of ours. I am going to tell you the same thing I tell all my friends who look at me and tell me they wish they had the motivation. Motivation????? It's survival for me at this point. I tell them, your time will come. I tell them to take baby steps and just to keep on moving ahead. There is no time to wallow in what you perceive as a failure, Joyce. You have learned so so much about yourself and how to eat, how to exercise and how great your body feels when you are in control. You have it in you to do this, and I for one know that you will find that strength again and you will gain control of what is lost right now. Please keep coming back. I know for me I would feel shame and not want to share anymore. But you already shared, and that is a huge positive. We will miss you if you go. Donna
