I am writing my story to try and stop every other 'real woman' from going through my battles.
I was overweight all of my life until one day I decided enough was enough, I was miserable and did not want to hide behind my weight anymore so decided to lose some. Well one thing lead to another and although I am by no means anorexic I am a great deal lighter than I used to be. The only problem is that I still see the large woman that I was back then and no matter what my friends and family tell me and how much they worry I am unable to see past the larger me. I eat minimal food and exercise four times a week. I started the diet by cutting back and then I progressed and cut out food pretty much completely and doing other things that I am not proud of nor want any other person to do - ever. By seeing a naturopath and taking herbs daily I am getting back on track and now eat much better than I did two years ago but still am not completely there yet and still see the old me looking back at me in the mirror. To all of you ladies out there who may be unhappy with your size and trying to loose weight please be careful, do not get caught in the way that I did and once you get to your goal weight, be happy with it and dont push yourself even further and then even further to lose more - it is unhealthy and makes you just as miserable as when you were overweight.

You are absolutely right, you have to be happy with the goal weight that you do reach because it takes alot of work to get there and you should just be proud of that. I had been anorexic for 3 years and no matter how happy you think you will be when you do lose all the weight life seems to get a whole lot worse. It really isn't worth putting yourself through hell to be thin, there are other more healthier ways such as yours that give results and keep you feeling great about yourself.

Hi Jaine. I am in the process of losing weight and gaining control of my life (via lapband surgery). I too am worried about the exact same thing.
there isn't a day I don't sit and have tears in my eyes that I have made the worst mistake of my life. I hope that one day the control i want so bad doesn't diminish and I can see that I am still me, just a smaller version on me. You must be logged in to post a comment.
