I love you and whatever I can do that will helps, you know I will. And I am so proud of you for not eating and for dealing with it all this afternoon and maintaining your composure. You are the best most wonderful person I know and I am in awe of your courage and fortitude. Ask Marcus to spread his wings over you and know I am always here to do whatever I can to help.
my weight was my armor against men/people looking at me and finding me attractive
My history is not quite the same as yours, but that statement could have been written by me. I actually remember starting to get fat and being thrilled about it because men were leaving me alone! (OMG except one time, after I'd put on a lot of weight, a guy I had a mad crush on for years started flirting with me. I'd never heard of 'chubby chasers' before but I sure found out. Ugh, ugh, ugh.)
Anyway. Is there anything I can do to help? If you think of anything at all, just say the word. I feel like we're buddies in this weight-loss thing and I've been so happy to have you to talk to.
Well done on the retail therapy approach over the ice cream therapy!
The working out and crying - I hope that means you are releasing something that needs to be gone. Like getting a boil lanced, it hurts like hell but feels so much better after (eventually). I hope this for you!!
I've never been able to do exercise for the sake of exercise. I always mean to, but it never clicks. Wish I could be one of those people like my dad - if he doesn't get his bike ride (or tennis, or something else physical) every single day, rain or shine or snow or sleet, he goes all antsy. He's been that way as long as I remember and he's 85 now and still like that!
Wouldn't it be awesome to have that passionate drive for exercise, like we have for food? If only they could go into our brains and swap the circuits or something..
AWESOME on the jeans sizes! I'm not sure how those numbers translate to X numbers - My 4x jeans are so baggy they feel like clown pants! I think I could fit a 3x now, but it's not in the budget. Fortunately I have a job where I am only seen from the waist up. :-D
