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. Last edited by Glycemic : July 1st, 2005 at 07:17 PM. |

It's a good group (despite the usual occasional trolls, of course). Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 |

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. Ilene B 227/221/220 |
