VSG Maintenance Group
Wednesday!
Carbondated, sorry you had a dreadful evening. Happens. If you really sit with it, you'll figure out what the trigger was.
Scale still really likes this weight! Not eating to lose though. Eating a nice maintenance level.
Had a thought: When does the idea of "I'm working on it", become an excuse for doing nothing or staying stagnant? I'm sure the line is individual, but something my therapist said last week has made me think about this. She told me that when I have negative thoughts I can counter them with "I'm working on it." (about food and weight). I'm wondering where my line is.
Going out to lunch with some VSGers. Haven't seen one in a while - since my regain. Feeling hesitancy, trepidation, and some embarrassment. I'm sure it will be fine, but part of me doesn't want to be seen. Silly perhaps, but I'm hoping you all can relate.
Oh! Devon....I totally understand. However, I bet those pounds are less noticeable than you think. And, they're your friends, right? I remember one of my good friends telling me that when I was fat she just didn't see me that way...meaning that was not her focus. She saw my other qualities...I have always appreciated that! So, I know that seeing you in their eyes is not the same thing you see:) I hope you had a great time!!!!
"I'm working on it." Hmmm...something to think about. If you're not actively "working on it" then you'd have to adjust your line. And, sometimes I'm just not!
Thanks, Lesa. It was nice to see my friends. Of course, they are supportive and in our talk today we realized that all of us have "addictive personalities" and had similar issues in our families growing up. Seems that for us our dysfunction manifested itself in food abuse. Gave me something more to think about.
