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.

I'm glad you found us :-). Welcome. It's a good group (despite the
usual occasional trolls, of course).

It sure is a fantasy (albeit a negative one). Yes, many people are
eating with abandon. Are they popular? Well built? Maybe, maybe not. Who
cares?
Resentment is a corrosive feeling. It really needs to be tamped down,
with reason, if nothing else. You have no way of knowing anything about
people's lives or feelings, only that you see someone eating who isn't
fat. That's a fact, but the rest is personal issues and projection,
which feel lousy and don't help you to treat yourself right and well.

I remember once envying a couple in the brunch line on a Sunday morning.
Ah, they're lovers, they had a great Saturday night, everyone has
someone but me, etc. etc. We ended up sharing a table, and it turned out
that he was gay and they were roommates and she hadn't had a boyfriend
in some time. They were good friends. Brunch was good.

And so on.

This board is helpful in many ways.

I hear where you are coming from, but life is a struggle and some
normal or thin weight people have other problems.

Happiness is a choice one can make.
