I've definitely found the group for me The more I read your posts, the more I see I'm not that abnormal in my thoughts and actions. Especially enjoyed the scale obsession, ha, there can't possibly be someone more obsessed with those stupid scales than me. Explain to me how I can get on the scales one day and the next morning I'm down 7 lbs!!! I know, everyone says it's water retention. But boy talk about depressing seeing the scales go up like that. I'm so horrible with the scales that for awhile I'd make my husband hide the scales, and then when he'd be off doing something else and I'd get the need to just know, I'd be tearing the house apart till I found them. Now that's obsessed
Miki I totally hear you about trying to lose and have the hubby not even try and weightloss We've been married 16 years and all the years I've know him, yep he's worn the same size and been within the same 10 lbs up/down. Soooo jealous here I hear you about your son and how cruel kids can be. My son is 8, soon to be 9 (1/10) and I just hate how he's taking after me, he's 4'6" and 115 lbs. I so badly didn't want him to live the same feelings of inadequacy because he doesn't fit the "perfect" world mold. I often question why couldn't he have taken after his dad who has never had a weight issue. He gets decent exercise,we have him in a swim club which requires two nights a week of hour long practices and they are constant back and forth doing laps. I got in that pool once and thought hey this doesn't look that hard, thought I can do this Well.....half way down one length (25 yrd) I was dead So it's definitely good exercise for him. He just eats too much, he eats like an adult and I just don't know how to lower his amounts as he's truly hungry, he doesn't do much snacking and we try not to keep bad stuff in the house that often. Unfortunately if it's there I can't just have a little, I've got to eat it until it's gone. Hope you're feeling better today.
Well, I've finished my first 32 oz cup and of course I've gotta run run run now and then back at it -- I'm at work.
Hope everyone has a great day!
