If I sound high and mighty

I'm concerned that my posts sound like I'm preaching. Weight loss can be long and slow and hard but I tell myself I should know better. I've been through long and slow and hard before in my struggles with serious mental illness. In the process of my recovery, which included several lengthy hospitalizations, a lot of professional help, focus groups and individual attention, many of my other issues vanished because they were less important than survival. I am a happy chubbette and it is because I have had a lot of help and that is why I preach getting help. It is the quickest way to shorten the time we suffer. I am relieved that it is only fat I am losing. The rest of me will still be there. Kelly
 
Welcome to the forum Kelly :)

Good for you for taking control of your life in so many areas!
 
from the happy chubbette

I became a happy chubbette finally after my appreciation for a particular friend grew. You know the kind of girl I mean. She was very overweight but appeared not to notice. Her laugh, her sparkle. It made me try not to be bothered by it. How freeing. I'll never go back.

It clarifies and shrinks the task ahead.

She, by the way, is dropping the weight.
