September 15, 2010Gloom. Despair.

I just don't want to write in this blog.

I just don't want to think about food, though how can I not think about food?  I'm obsessed by food.

I just don't want to do what I am supposed to do.

I also don't want to be seen in public because I am fat.

Good grief.  I'm a mess.

Hugs!!! For me, sometimes when I feel that way it helps to spend time in the blog world, reading other blogs. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it reminds me I am not along, sometimes I find a little inspiration. And one day I wrote a long post that I never published and the words flowed out and that felt pretty good too.

I feel your pain, sister, I really do. But please realize that when you go out in public, people don't notice your weight, they see your either your confidence or your lack of it. I think that instead of focusing on food and losing weight, you might try searching for body confidence blogs or something along those lines to help you gain some perspective. First Ourselves (firstourselves.com) has always helped me when I've felt low. Also look up intuitive eating blogs - even if you don't want to do intuitive eating, they usually have some really good resources to check into.

Mostly just know that you are amazing just the way you are. There's nothing wrong with you - you are probably more normal than you even realize!! You'll get out of this valley, eventually. (((hugs)))

I know, I know, I know. I am so tired of constantly dealing with my weight issue. I am up 8 pounds over the summer. There is always a reason why just this one time I can splurge. Back to work.

Maybe just don't think about food this week but rather focus on exercising every day? Baby steps.

Ultimately, who gives a sh**. Really. All of the important things in life are there whether we're fat or not: love, friends, our kids. You know what I mean? At some point our vanity has got to stop messing with us. Yes, we all want to look like skinny supermodels, but would it really change our lives that much? Please don't stress too much about it, Mel. Just do your best everyday and it'll all work out. I've been trying for a month to be good and get some exercise, but my pants don't feel any more loose. **Sigh** But I'm going to forge ahead because I know that it's better for me and that it's not that much of a sacrifice not to eat so much crap food. One day at a time and forgive yourself when you slip. You hear me?
Hugs.

Great comments here.. lots of positive support and confidence-boosters!

Dieting can be such an emotional roller-coaster. Weight losses make us so happy, confident, and bubbly, especially when unexpected. On the other hand, unexpected weight gains can make us swoon with despair, doubt, and cause us to want to crawl into a very dark, quiet hole. Each of these two responses tend to be self-reinforcing. Weight losses make us more determined and resolute; weight gains make us want to give up and eat more food as a form of coping.

I think we've all been to these two places quite often! Fortunately, we are good at rebounding. Those disquieting voices in your head will go away and the dark clouds will part soon enough.. just get through *today* which I think is what a lot of others are referring to by "one day at a time" and "baby steps."

Besides, you've been successful at weight loss before. How was that Mel different from this Mel?

Hmmm First you need to do is to have confidence. Be Positive! You just have to know how to use the right word when someone offended you. Be Strong! Also there are clothes that make a fat person look good. Confidence starts at first then discipline, dedication and being inspired will just come along. oh yeah..don't put the term "baby steps" like doing it slowly, put it like even you did some complete exercise and ending up loosing just 1lbs..don't feel sorry for it because thats going to be your baby steps. One baby step at a time for a better you :)

Doing my best imitation of Cher in Moonstruck .... "SNAP OUT OF IT" *SLAP*

I have to agree with Randy above. what is the difference? You can do the same as you did before.

I am seriously obsessed with food too. I hate, hate, hate the cycle - I had one great week, lost 1.4, then went on vacation for the holiday weekend, then out of town for work, and now find myself a solid 5 pounds heavier. I am a sponge that absorbs everything! I agree with Laura - baby steps. And I know someone here has told you about Women, Food, and God by Geneen Roth. It is a powerful book, very uncomfortable to read, because it really hit home with me. I wish you much success. Evenutally we will both get to a place where the stuff we shouldn't eat doesn't mean that much, and so we don't eat it.
