| | And how are you doing today? It's hard when you feel like you're eating on the run, but it sure is worth it to do it right!!! |

| | Today is a better day--just tried the gazelle for the first time--my husband just assembled it. Trying to stay active. I had a can of tuna with mayo and celery, yummy and good for me. I think too much--I can look in the mirror and see that my face looks rounder, even if it doesn't. It is amazing what fear does to me. As long as I keep having faith that this WOE is going to work for me, I believe it will. I just need to get through all of the self-doubt and craziness that goes on in my head. |

| | the body-image flux seems to get better over time, or at least it did for me, although i know i can look in the mirror three times in a single day and see three different people sometimes! i took lots of progress photos as i went along to help ground my sense of how i looked, because it really did shift a lot. if you have a hungry day, it's a good idea to let yourself have more "legal" foods than normal and not worry about it. and early on, starting an exercise plan can do that for some. sometimes specific foods can set it off for some, too. it's a very learn-as-ya-go thing. but as time goes on and you learn more about how your body responds, most people begin to trust the process a little more and feel a greater sense of ease over the whole thing. it sounds like you're doing fine. just hang in there. |

| | Thanks Goddess, you are the most encouraging person! I'm looking forward to getting to that place where there is a "greater sense of ease over the whole thing" and until then, I will continue getting support here--I'll continue getting support after also |

| | i'm glad my thoughts are helpful. i SO know where you're at. once i started experiening some success, i was absolutely terrified something was going to mess it up and i'd end up being disappointed again. i'd been heavy almost all of my life and didn't trust anything for working, because nothing ever had. the ease comes with patience and persistence. i found this forum when i was abuot 30 pounds down and i credit what i learned here for taking me from there to where i am. i think you're in the right place. |
