Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 's Daily Message FridaySeptember 01, 2006OUR WORST ENEMY We hope you enjoy reading 's Message for Friday, September 1! I`m at a very difficult stage in my life right now. I am ashamed and embarrassed about my weight and the way I look. I walk around with a big smile on my face, but it`s all just a cover up, because I have nothing to smile about. When I go out with my girlfriends, I always tell them I have started to eat better and have lost some weight. I lied to them as I lied to my family. I want everyone to believe I am still trying. Deep inside, I think they know I`m not. My clothes are tight, and I refuse to buy larger sizes. Sadly enough, I don`t think they will fit much longer. My husband is thin and runs 5 days a week. He`s very supportive and always tries to give me pep talks, but I just change the subject. If someone begins to talk about my weight, I just burst into tears and leave the room. My mother wrote me a letter telling me she was worried about me and wanted to know what she could do. She can`t do anything; no one can. I feel like a lost cause. I`ve seen you on talk shows, and you`ve helped many who look just like me. It took me 4 months to write this to you. I have no one to talk to about my situation. What is wrong with me? I`m afraid I`m just going to keep gaining until something terrible happens to me. I would value what you have to say. Love, Do you feel like ? Have you shut out all the people that love and care for you? Have you shut down? Here`s what I said to . "You have to put away some time to be by yourself and try to figure out why you weigh what you weigh. You know, it`s not just all about the weight. What is going on with you – stress, sadness, loneliness, boredom or unfinished past issues?" I also told her to open up to the ones she loves. As you know, if you keep everything bottled up inside of you, the levy of your insanity will break! I suggested to her to get back on program and believe more in herself this time. We are all our own worst enemies, aren`t we? I hope all of you that are reading this will feel good about yourselves today. Eat less, labor more – OH – and happy September 1!
