Re: Thursday's NWH meeting

,

I believe the woman who spoke was , she was there with her two

daughters. They talked about how her overeating, and weight issues throughout

their childhood effected their lives. It was very emotional, and got me

thinking about the potential damage I have done to my own children. Also, got

me thinking about my ex-husband. He justified cheating on me for years

because " " I was not the woman he married " , she weighed 150 lbs, not 250 lbs!

Just brought up a lot of emotions that I'm not ready to deal with. However, I

did have a major break through, I did not have to " eat " those

feelings/emotions away. I just got angry, and decided I would deal with them

when I was ready! Major progress for me...

Mj,

I'm sorry I did not get a chance to say hello to you. I really was upset

after the meeting, and left.. We will have to catch up next month.

Take care,

I wasn't at thursday's meeting...sounds interesting if it elicited this much

emotion. What happened there?

Thursday's NWH meeting

I found it very interesting that MJ completely enjoyed Thursday's meeting,

and I absolutely hated it. I really had to reflect on why. What I have been

able to come up with is it made me think about my own eating, and dieting

history and how this affected my children, and family. It brought up

feelings

that I am not ready to deal with. I left the meeting very angry....

Interesting stuff...

JOni:

That is interesting that we both had differnet views on the

meeting...while I do enjoy having meetings that are more informative..this

meeting came at a time that I have been feeling very sad and am still at the

point of " what the F.... did I do to myself.....the reason why is becasue I

have been ill for it feels like forever...but what this meeting did for me

was put things into persepective,,, and reminded me why I did have the

surgery for ...Myself...and my family..I was at the point of Thursday of

just giving up,,eat what I want (seeing that I throw it up anyway)and not

caring if I ever lose another pound..but I left there (hubby and daughter

came with me) renewed..fists full of soggy tissues..lol You know the

saying... " you hear what you need when you need it " ..so maybe this meeting

was planned for me..maybe the next one will be for you...Hugs MJ

Maternal guilt is the worst. I know that I've done some damage to my son,

and there's really no worse feeling that I can imagine. But I have to tell

myself over and over that I turned out pretty ok even after I survived my

parents, and hopefully Colin will be able to adjust to his dysfunction as

well as I have to mine. I didn't have to even be morbidly obese to screw up

my kid. Try not to beat yourself up over the past...though that maternal

guilt thing can be waaaaaaaay overwhelming at times. Anyone who is a mother

I'm sure can relate.
