Re: A little freak out right now.....

Hi Eliza: Congratulations on your weight loss. You obviously learned enough IE

to change your eating habits. Freaking out about your weight loss may seem

ironic. I suspect you wanted to lose weight by changing your eating habits. Did

you freak out, because you thought you had lost more? Or were you shocked that

you had lost that much?

Whatever the reason for your distress, I understand that any change, even a good

change, can be difficult, especially when you don't expect the change. After I

had abstained from bingeing for over 9 months, I realized that I would have to

face other, even scarier problems, because I no longer worried about bingeing.

I can 'control' my eating habits, but I face other problems (like recurrent

c-diff infections and my husband's job instability) which I don't seem to have

much control. So I wonder what your weight loss means to you. If you woke up

tomorrow morning and didn't have your weight problem, what other life problems

would you have to face?

little freak out. Because 2 months ago I was weight 240 as I am still continuing

learning IE way of life. Few days ago I went to see doctor and the nurse had me

to weight in. I was little shocked as I am weight right now drop down to 217 in

2 months. I come so close to end up binging because of that. I was happy about

lose some of weights because I feel much better with my feet and knees less pain

when I am stand for in long of period and even less pain when I went for

walking. Just the sight of weights on that one little freaked me out. I was in

denial of my pants was quite too big for me to wear any longer. LOL. Please

give me idea how to get past this without freak out even worse.

Thanks Sue,

To be honest I do not expect to lose this much. Usual for years I only maybe

lose 5 lbs a month at a time then gain it back up double. Not this time as I

lost 23 in 2 months. Sure, I do want to lose weights not because people said I

would look better. But because that I want to be health and happy with myself

for take care of myself instead of everyone else around me. That's the only

reason I want to have for my life. Whether lose weights or not long as I can

get my goal achieve by get better health.

Yeah, I have never expect that much for one second.
