Default Great board

This is a great board for me because it helps me to deal with my two great enemies in weight loss. They a

1) Resentment; and

2) Doubt;

Resentment is the worst. If I don't come to this board I feel as if all the world is feasting and never gaining a pound. The happy people eat with abandon and are slim, well built and popular. And me, I step out of line one tiny little bit and wham, it is big belly time. It seems so unfair, until I realize that it is only my fantasy that is my torture. In reality many people are challenged with weight loss. Sure there are a few who seem to have an easy time of it. But I am far from alone.

Perhaps doubt is not quite the right word, but it is connected with resentment. It is the thought and feeling: "Ohhhh, it won't make a difference anyway." And here, feeling the common struggle, I realize that it very well can make a difference. Others are struggling just like me. Some are trying similar tactics (I see a fair number of frequent eaters here) and having some success.

So, I am happy to have found this board.
