I am addicted to the joy of food but refuse to let it all go completely. I hate to exercise and go on cycles of being better and worse about getting it done. I'm too educated to yo-yo diet and I have never done that (I also know that simply mentioning the word diet will immediately cause me to sneak loads of bread into my diet!! The brain is a vicious master.) I feel hopeless and degraded staring at short and curvy (it never changes and I know it never will) but I am desperately trying to lift my general feeling about myself. I have entered a phase (after a dark time) where I am pushing myself to work out more regularly (at least two times a week.) I buy lots of lettuce and enjoy more salads. I don't eat junk, I just really like feta and vegetables and rice and Indian sauces... I know portion control is my challenge. Its getting better; I can feel that it takes less to be full now that I've been eating less for a while. I've cut out vanilla soy lattes on a regular basis! I have a partner who regularly tells me [to remember that] I am beautiful. I'm sure its frustrating for him that I can't seem to hold on to positive thoughts about myself but I've communicated that his saying so really does help my brain and my resolve. In return I try to honor him by not saying bad (hmmm, lets face it: nasty. I can really be mean to me) things about myself. I wear a spanx type girdle every day which is wonderful and does make my life better; I become absolutely immobile in life if I can feel the jiggle - this way I can get on with life (I wear them to work out in as well.) That's enough rant for one day, I suppose. Jesika's philosophy has been very helpful. I remember her when I "fall off the wagon", reminding myself that not all is lost, that my body is doing the best it can for me and I should give it a break. It feels good to write this madness down - I hope it can help someone else who is struggling. You can feel many things, but alone should probably not be one of them! Good luck to everyone.
