Hello everyone. What can I say that's new? Probably not a whole lot. I'm guessing we're all here because we've got varying degrees of the same illness (and I really do believe overeating's as much an illness/addiction as alcoholism or drugs or nicotine) and we're hoping to find a little camaraderie and support along the way. I also find myself obsessed lately with all things weight-loss related. This makes me perfect for a forum like this, but pretty boring for those in my day-to-day life who are tired of hearing about the 8 pounds I've lost, or what I plan to have for lunch, or why I think it's better to do 20 minutes of no resistance on the elliptical trainer than 10 in hardcore fat burning mode. Here I can talk & talk (or in this case type & type) to my heart's content and (hopefully) I won't bore everyone to tears.
My ultimate goal is to get back down to 155 pounds, which I haven't been for about 6 years now. The real irony in this number is that the last time I weighed 155 I thought I was sooooo fat. I remember thinking "Oh my god, I can't let my husband see me naked, I'm so ashamed!". I was a size 8/10 at the time. Now here I sit, a size 18 (and perfectly fine with hubby seeing me in the buff), wishing I had a time machine so I could go back and slap some sense into the old me.
Well, I could go on & on but I think I'll save it for the journal section.
