Success - one pound at a time.
I've been on this message board for awhile and since I've started I've
been through many issues with food, diet, and exercise. I'm posting today to report my progression towards recovery (from compulsive overeating). I've been exercising healthily and my body image is improving dramatically. I weighed myself today after about three months of avoiding the scale and I clocked in at 142.8lbs. This is a miracle, considering I peaked at 153lbs or so a few months back and was miserable. I feel like I can sustain this attitude. I kind of went haywire this morning (with food) because I'm working with a deadline on an assignment, but I'm more likely to check myself before I wreck myself these days. Thanks for being so supportive, ASD! HS |

It's a great stress reliever. Is there anything special you do to help you through the stressful times? Beverly |

Thanks for being so supportive, ASD! HS Hey, way to go, HS! Sounds like you're making real progress. A healthy body image is really important to weight loss. And you're right, the key is just to get right back on track if you deviate a bit from your plan. Keep us posted! Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 |

WTG HS. That is some good progress you're reporting -- on the body-image
front as well as the food and exercise front. And I like the "check yourself before you wreck yourself" motto too. ep "Her Subj." wrote in message ups.com...

Thanks so much, Beverly. I love exercising in the morning these days. I
tend to wake up at 5:45 or 6AM (egad!) to get it out of my system. It's my ideal way to start the day. I used to exercise more in the evening but I figure I want to spend my evenings working on schoolwork and hanging out with mates. I never have to choose between exercising and something else when I get it out of the way in the morning. I don't do anything in particular to help me get through stressful times. Historically I've binged. It was the most irrational thing to do, too, as it didn't solve anything, but made me more stressed. What do you do to relieve stress? Beverly wrote: Congratulations HS.

Thanks, Chris! Your presence has been instrumental in supporting my
belief that anyone can do it and do it very well. HS Chris Braun wrote: Hey, way to go, HS! Sounds like you're making real progress. A healthy body image is really important to weight loss.

My favorite stress buster is to jump on the bike and take a ride. I love the peace and quiet of riding the country roads around my house. I only hate that it takes so long to prepare for cycling in the winter I also find sewing relaxing but haven't done too much of that in the past year. I gave up my sewing room when I changed sides of my double and it's a hassle to drag the machine out. Sometimes it's something as simply as grabbing a book or magazine and retiring to my bedroom or curling up on the sofa to listen to music. Beverly |
