"What does your weight loss say for you?

"Notice I don't look different from most others.
It's not about me
I am in charge of myself.
I feel competent
I am a good mother. NOT!
Don't feel sorry for me.
I still don't want sex.
I am stable and dependable.
Don't mess with me.
I expect to live up to my commitments
I don't need to be perfect.
Respect my boundaries
I feel angry when it's appropriate.
I strive to be all I can be.
I am worthy.
I have not given up.
I am loyal to myself first
I like being grown up.
I was not put in this world to live up to your expectations.
I will level with you when things bother me about our relationship
Sometimes I need space and solitude.
I enjoy love, acceptance and praise, but am not addicted to them"


You are funny, Carol -- and a lot of these were very thought-provoking for
me. I like the concept of "what does your weight LOSS say about you" -- I
wouldn't have thought of that!
