I used to participate in the South Beach Diet forum, but I'm fed up with diets that forbid certain foods. They just make me want that food all the more. My favorite thread, there was one called Little Losers and it was for people trying to lose just a small amount of weight. Are there any Little Losers who would like to connect? I think it can be aggravating to people on a serious weight loss mission to have to listen to the frustrations of someone trying to lose five or ten pounds, but Little Losers need support, too. In my case, I've been seeing an upward trend for the past five years and I just don't want it to keep going. I want to get back to where I was and I want to stay there. I have a lot of trouble coping with food and eating. I have anxiety disorder, depression, maybe borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders Not Otherwise Specified. My weight is technically in the healthy range, but it doesn't feel comfortable to me. At five pounds less, I would still be in the healthy range and I would be at a weight I used to maintain without effort during mentally stable phases of my life.
When I think about my frustration with my weight and general eating habits, I'm reminded of an old saying - "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." After 10 years of therapy, you would think I would have found the different thing to do to get the different result, but I haven't.
