But the fact is that you got out of the really dangerous zone of obesity. <br /><br />Maybe rather than worry about how you are going lose still more weight, consolidate your accomplishment by vowing never to go back to the past. For example, "draw the line" at 200 pounds. <br /><br />I have my own "number" which is the weight I don't want to exceed, so if I start to creep upward toward it, I know I have to eat less calories and spend more time riding my bike. It has not been hard to keep below my desired weight, but I think it would be hard to go a lot lower than where I am now.AKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-5094401937925622472011-03-10T13:12:08.732-05:002011-03-10T13:12:08.732-05:00Great post!

It is so evident that our environments, are life experience and our genetics all play a part in our relationship with food. I think you are 100 percent right when you say that people who are overweight may be suffering from the same type of mental thoughts that create anorexia and bulimia. And just as those diseases wreak havoc on our health, so does compulsive overeating. Just wanted to say how well written your posts are. And I'm happy for you that you have been able to tackle this battle. <3Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447564243887187606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-40782535564987340462011-02-17T23:32:41.004-05:002011-02-17T23:32:41.004-05:00Hey, I have recently discovered in 2011, that I ha...Hey, I have recently discovered in 2011, that I have hypothyroid. I guess it would make sense for me since I am like 10 or 15 lbs overweight. I am now on natural <a href="http://www.nutri-meds.com/Nutri_Meds_Desiccated_Bovine_Thyroid_Tablets_p/nm-g-btt.htm" rel="nofollow">bovine thyroid</a> .

That way, I can hide more. I understand the desire to go and just raid the kitchen and it's a struggle to not eat the bag of chips, the left-overs, the second, third, or fourth helping just because it's there. I'm here with you on the struggle.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019827440946283439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-38754857900160022742011-02-07T11:14:44.830-05:002011-02-07T11:14:44.830-05:00I think this is a fantastic post - it addresses a ...I think this is a fantastic post - it addresses a very real issue for a lot of people.

I also have PCOS. I just recently had gastric bypass, and am doing well overall now, but still have that "fat" mentality now too.<br /><br />I REALLY feel there are mental and physiological triggers. I feel liek the surgery turned off a switch that allows me to be more "normal" with my food. But the truth is, if I could eat more, I would...that's the mental part, I want more. <br /><br />I'm learning to live with all of this too & I recognize your struggle.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678540064479519398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-3890182387866314372011-02-07T07:17:21.258-05:002011-02-07T07:17:21.258-05:00I'm an emotional eater as well.

I guess the thing that motivates me is knowing that doing something about it will make me healthy. I want to be healthy for those future babies. But it's still so hard to stay focused, even though I know the goal I want. So I agree this type of eating is a disorder, but people still blame the person. until something magical happens in the medical world, I fear that it will always be.Mrs.Hunt2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/05231056517997448675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-32481373700281367242011-02-07T02:14:06.407-05:002011-02-07T02:14:06.407-05:00I fully understand you and am full of respect for ...I fully understand you and am full of respect for what you achieved already.<br /><br />And really, it is always a mental issue (at least part of it) when it comes to judging weight.<br /><br />When a obese person says he/she doesn't want to live unhealthy anymore it is "good". When someone like me (underweight since birth,I'm burning my food too well apparently....noone knows why) says, I am rather a bit skinny than a bit overweight people stare at me.....but it is healthier, sorry!<br /><br />In my teen years this really showed. with twelve everyone thought I was a scrawny girl....with thirteen i suddenly became anorexic in everyones eyes.<br /><br />As a angsty teen I suffered from always being "accused" of having a addiction (I mean, it is NOT very nice) but it made me stronger.<br /><br />I would love to gain a bit (maybe up to 10 pounds) but not necessarily more. I eat healthy (also frowned upon....oh the hypocrisy!) with the occasional fast food thrown in.<br /><br />I think you did it exactly right. You changed for YOU and your family, others will always have a say about your appearance, but it doesn't really matter as long as you are healthy and like yourself.<br /><br />And after all you've been through, to go and fight your weight and your lifestyle is truly IMPRESSIVE.<br />I am proud of you (sorry if that sounded creepy :) )Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385518225535224786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-75169121580386346932011-02-06T23:17:49.192-05:002011-02-06T23:17:49.192-05:002 thumbs up.2 thumbs up.one-hit_wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392238740961497297noreply@blogger.com
