Hi FF, I read your post back to me awhile ago but I have had a hard time answering for the obvious reason; I relapsed. I should just have the decency to disappear into the woodwork like most posters and let myself be forgotten. But for some reason I feel the need to answer you. Self esteem is compli...

Good work man--on 70 days. Here is what I have done about self esteem. (I saw something on the internet that made sense to me.) I decided I wanted to show people how great I am doing despite being 100 pounds overweight and having a bit of a visual disability. I carry myself differently because I cho...

Have walked the last two days. Got a good job, start soon, I know that seems quick but I have been looking for months, something finally came through. Saw the doctor, who suggested weight watchers to count points, So I am going to whole heartedly try it. I am going to spend my free time on the weigh...

I have seen Dr. Dyer on public television and have always enjoyed his talks, will look up more on you tube as time permits. I finished my electronic cigarette and threw it away, then went and got a real one from a friend. It is not what I need, so have no plans to buy any more electronic cigarettes ...

Day 7, walked 20 minutes. Yesterday morning not so good, didn't walk, didn't write down what I ate, smoked a lot on the electronic cigarette. The afternoon was better, got a bit of control over myself. Today is much better, tried to go back and write in yesterdays food and realized I couldn't rememb...

I cried when I read your post, because I was so happy I did not have to go over the past. I was not physically or sexually abused as a child. I was spanked but only like the rest of the world. My father had a mental illness that he refused to take medication for, so I am happy to leave it at that an...

I am mostly satisfied with my life. I have been married 25 years to a kind man. No man is perfect and we have had our problems but I really can't complain. When I was young I was determined not to have a relationship like my parents and I have succeeded in that. My mom feared my dad and I vowed to n...

Thinking about body image today. I feel huge. I feel like I take up a lot of space. Yet I wonder why it has taken me so long to care about my weight. Am I the opposite of an anorexic? Do I look in the mirror and think "Oh, that's not so bad I am not too big." when I am too big. I am confus...

Day 5. Thanks, JuliusFawcett. Appreciate the support. Walked 19 minutes. Doing better about not snacking between meals (fear of the dreaded gum). Very hungry at each meal though, would like to work on eating slowly but it doesn't seem to occur to me until about half way through. (I think I go into a...

Walked 20 minutes on a nice path in the woods, recorded everything I ate, trying to drink only water, tea and 4oz. of milk a day. (I have been diagnosed recently with low vit. D). Read an article on fatty foods being like cocaine addiction, (sounds about right), made some better choices today.

Day 4. thanks Fackeffaced, having a very difficult time controlling my eating habits. Checked a friend's scale and weighed in at 249. The valentine holiday was rough. I equate a lot of this to alcoholism as I have three siblings that are/were of normal weight but are very much alcoholics. One has qu...

Thank you JuliusFawcett, I checked it out and I like the fact that it is not a traditional meditation as I have had trouble concentrating, lately. I will try visiting the link every morning, as I need all the help I can get. Did not walk today. Recorded what I ate. Managed not to snack much because ...

Day 3 (of me caring what I am doing to myself with too much food) The scale broke. No really it has stopped working correctly. Changed the battery. It is giving me wrong weights like 220, it is weighing my husband wrong also. So that's not too great for my self esteem, knowing I broke the scale. So ...

Good day/bad day, The gum idea worked as long as I wasn't really hungry. Started a food diary. The problem before with a food diary was I kept losing the notebook, so I put it on the computer. I looked at on line journals but decided to make my own template on Word, quicker access as I don't have to...

Thanks everyone! Seeing your posts really made my day!
