| separation with Larry has been wracking and miserable. One month has gone by so far...and in that month I've been everywhere emotionally. One minute I'm so strong I can conquer the universe. The next minute I'm slumped down so low I can hardly pick my feet off the ground and I curl up and sob outright over the things lost and the things I fear losing....
It's mostly holidays and traditions and stuff that I cherished in him, but also the ability to talk so easily, to know and read each other so well, or to have the permission to be ourselves with one another...I hate seeing myself lose all these things. But he is here with me yet to help with cars, or to go to dinner with once in a while and it doesn't feel as bad as it used to when we hung out and then parted. I am trying to make plans apart and to avoid waiting in the wings for his emails or texts or calls. That pulling apart is the worst, most scary and treacherous thing ever. My weight today is: 264.8 I know it's cause I am not eating right. I barely want to eat at all when I'm not around him. Either I don't think of it, or I don't feel hungry or whatever. I know this is not healthy and I am working and fighting my way through this!!! |

| I also missed Saturday too.
I've been very down and out with the separation of my husband and myself three weeks ago. We'd been together 14 years and i feel like i'm on the verge of losing my best and dearest friend! It's awful and heart-wrenching to see him date and to have to live here while he comes and goes...he's giving me a place to be until i get a job and am able to move out. I search for work everyday and feel that it's a hard cause to pursue when it takes time and dilligence and constant focus. It's also hard cause he says he wants to be here for me as a friend, but then when I come to him in that way he gets pissed and pushes away... he's playing two sides...trying to be there for this other girl who is in the middle of a tragic breakup and tons of emotional issues, then also being here for me in my emotional issues too. often he gets mad at me and i don't even know it's just that hes frazzled by being pulled in too many directions. i will be strong and find my way but every day is a hardship, heartache and a lesson in my self esteem and ability to endure. My weight this week: 270.6. i am not eating well. i am lovesick and trying to start to refocus on that stuff again, but it's hard. |

| Because of a recent terrible heartbreak involving my marriage and separation, I haven't been eating much...which is scary, but now I'm back to working on conciously eating every 3 hours and eating healthy stuff when I do eat. It's hard, but I'm finding my strengths in this time.
My weigh in: 274 |

| hi twinmana--i can relate to the scale thing. between yesterday and today i'm 4 lbs different. it just doesn't seem possible or likely :)
snowfence--hope you have an awesome b-day :) i'll bet you'll have a great time turning 50 with your loved ones around! I know 30 felt good when surrounded by friends a few years ago...even though i was stubborn about having a party :) on the healthy eating front--for me i'm really getting back on track. i'm using a combination of sites and surprisingly having a blast. immersing myself is really helping a lot. on a less than chipper note though i have a terrible toothache and have a dental appt. tonight. i am so afraid of dentists...but i gotta face it or be doomed to suffer which i think is far worse at this point! |

| talkdoc that's a great idea!
age: 32 height: 5' 5" start weight: 302 but i'm back in an upswing after i got down to 264!!! current weight: 288.4 goal weight: 140 background: I'm married with no children (unable). I run a small heavy metal record label, paint commissioned oil paintings and do promotion and administrative work for my husband's heavy metal band. It's a wild lifestyle with a lot of time on the road so eating healthy on the road and thinking on my feet is a definite issue. strengths: I love to exercise, have a great husband and supportive friends who are also working on weight loss issues: i eat when i feel sick or down, i eat when i'm celebrating, i eat when i'm trying to get my mind off of things goals: to keep up with the younger people who are in the heavy metal scene, to be able to enjoy nature and spend a lot of quality time outside in summer without this burden of weight. to lose this hangup of weight that keeps me from being free to behave the way i want. |

| I'm sooo sorry to miss the weigh in..my mother in law passed away saturday and we were there when it happened. it was so much more peaceful than i imagined, but still i had nothing else on my mind for the past few days. i do still want to join the cause. i need something to get my mind off of things for a while.
my weight in: 288.4. that sounds like an awful number, but it'll have to be my official starting point since i can't change where i am right this minute. |

| good to hear i'm not alone. i just feel a lot of shame when i realize that i put so much effort only to slip again.
it's like having to face a confessional or something to come back...but yeah i think just facing the facts and getting back to it is all I can do...can't change the past! lol :) |

| hi--i'm here too...although i don't always remember to post!
I gained a little weight and that's kept me from returning. I feel like i ought to only come when things are back on track so I can be taken seriously, but i guess it's also ok to return when things are at a low point. probably when i need it the most... anyone else feel the same way? |

I'd love to join if there's room. I'm pretty big-- 284 last time I weighed myself and would love to meet the 254 mark. That would be a huge accomplishment for me :)

| hi all :) hope everyone is doing ok.
learning2diet--i can sympathize. i am also up and down a lot. i hope with support and continued work it'll stabilize--maybe you're building muscle with the exercise? that would be a good thing cause it would lower metabolism :) myself, i kept track of what I ate when I went out to dinner the other night. all the things I never really paid attention to i logged and it was a sad sad thing to realize. a pat of butter, a breadstick, a soup, bread, a salad, a piece of meat, a potato...butter and sour cream. bleah. it was pretty sad. i gotta learn how to eat more responsibly. i think i almost have to have a game plan for each and every restaurant so i don't have to think on the fly. also eating socially is a bad idea for me at this point. too much time left open for temptations...especially little nibbly things that are left around within reach like bread and bradsticks :( |

Original Post by rusunier: brilliant idea! i notice that too when at a family style restaurant and they have the different courses. I always end up with left-overs...regardless of the size of the meal. it's more the ceremony that matters than the amount of food consumed :) I think that a light dessert (like an andes candy or mint) at the end helps to say...this is it. this is the last thing... and what a nice last thing to have :) I'll have to try this too! |

Original Post by weirdkitty: ah how i can relate :) food is such a complex part of my life! I hope to learn to manage it instead of letting it run rampant in mine. your name is Ria? My nick name is Ria too...(taken from my full name Maria)...my brother was small and couldn't pronounce Maria so that's where it came from :) |

that makes sense to me--far too much sense--the mouth hunger vs the actual stomach hunger is too familiar to me. I know I do this to. sometimes I'll even be full already and still want another helping. the advice on the veggies is a good one. have a little of the 'good stuff' and loead the rest of the plate with veggies. that might just work!
mollymouser that is sooo sooo awesome. I love how you've turned your love into a healthy love. i definitely need to do this. i edged on this once...eating tuna with mayo lettuce and tomatoes and it was soo good...but somehow i forgot it's goodness once i saw chips n dip or something else around. :) i gotta get back to choosing health...i'll be checking out your recipes ;) ktcort you're right. it's the taste i seek. i have to remember that and not just binge and binge when something tastes good. it loses it's goodness anyways after being so full i'm miserable :) jenmcc sorry to hear about the divorce :( that really stinks... i know that my relationship is a very odd one. i'm married to a touring musician. when we get together most of our time is spent working on band stuff. almost like politicians we call, write and rally people to come to shows. it's nearly all consuming. i think beyond the work we have a hard time finding stuff to do so we go out to eat. we can both enjoy it and we stop for a minute to just talk and look at each other and eat. i think i like those moments so much i'll drag them out forever and i think that's a big huge part of eating too much :( jammers85 i did like being a little skinnier, but i never got to the point where people noticed or anything major changed on the outside...but I do know that something changes on the inside with the loss. Thanks for reminding me of that change...I needed to remember that! imamy that's cool to hear that you're such a creative cook. i never mastered any sort of cooking skills. everything for me is pre-packaged or pre-prepared. it's sad i suppose... i think though that portion control will help again if i buy diet frozen meals and 100 cal packs...that will keep me from going overboard :) royalldybg neat name :) i'm checking out the site right now. i gotta find ways to connive my way through this :) devious and cunning haha :) thanks for passing it on! |

| catherinerich--that is brilliant and you're right. I do obsess and worry about my appearance and wish I could just be 'normal'. I konw it's a purposeful choice to lose weight. I felt so good being able to walk around the park when I lost a little weight and I even wear my swim suit at the gym without being overly judgemental about myself. It's definitely something to think about! | |||

| I wanted to send out good thoughts and positive energy for weight loss to everyone on here :)
I'm sort of flighty when it comes to posting, but I wanna become a part of a group. I'm really near the top of my weight at 285 lbs at 5' 5" and it's hard. I roller coaster up and down all the time. I lost 40 lbs a few months ago, but now 1/2 of that is back. I'm still proud to be 20 less lbs but know I need to find focus and determination to succeed! Thanks for welcoming me to your posts :) Hope I can be a more active member of the site! |

Thanks for writing! I'm learning slowly...ooohhh sooo slowly :) I realize at the very minimum that when I eat far too much I feel miserable afterward. So i can understand the idea of moderation. To face a plate of my favorite food with the same self control is a whole different story :) I think I just reached out cause I know I've failed myself in the recent past and now need to face the changes that must be made. |

| I met a lady at my water aerobics class who lost 60 lbs just from swimming :) I think it's a great exercise...I intend to swim more myself!
Good luck with the lessons :) |

| Weight Loss | People are starting to notice the loss...and it scares me! | Oct 01 2007 19:10 (UTC) |

That's happened to me, but in a slightly different way....I'd been on a diet program before this one and lost 30 lbs and the comment about mty weight loss came from a relative who'd been particularly judgemental about my former weight. Sadly since quitting that weight loss program i gained back 10 lbs (that's why I'm here) so now this leads me to think she'll be watching me! I suppose the answer for me would be to realize it's not about what other people think as much as how I feel and how I move forward from here. |
