Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Down .8 Last week: 116.8 This week: 116 Yay! I have been having lots of " fat " days this week. I know that some people will roll their eyes and think I'm being a drama queen, but just because you lose weight doesn't mean you lose weight issues. I think it's because I'm going to visit my family in a week and I feel self concious. They've all always been skinny (except my mom) and I've alway felt like I stood out like a big fat, ugly, toad. I guess that's why I'm feeling particularly " toady " lately. I know they'll be scrutinizing me to see if I've put on any weight, so that's why I'm scrutinizing myself. Gaining weight out of the blue when I hadn't done anything different sure didn't help matters. The loss helped to some extent, but I still feel frustrated and obsessed. There are so many other bigger issues in this world...why am I focusing on this one? -- Tory Klementsen, MCP A+ IT and Health Educator The successful person will do the things that the unsuccessful person will not.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Tory- I can't answer your question as to why you're focusing on the issue at hand, but you sort of answered it yourself. You know, as I know, that the weight issue is SO much more than just weight. It's psychologically deep, with so many layers that we haven't even touched on yet. Things like your visit to your family....things like my own adult kids ALL being here together next week (with all their many differences and intolerances!) -- those things touch one of the deeper layers that somehow trigger the insecurities. I hope that just knowing we're facing the deeper layers will help us to win the ongoing battle...and ultimately the war. I DO KNOW that your sharing it here will be helpful to not only me, but to others who share our struggles. So bring your WW-friendly snacks with you, and I'll have some on hand for my own family get-together, and we'll beat this thing. After all -- we're WINNERS, Tory. We are dang GOOD!
