Thank you for the kindness of your words, beleive me I do think all the time , probably to much…I actually only hit 5’9″ but my torso and legs are both long and while it helps (with weight gain) to keep me looking slimmer, I allso carry it all in my hips and thighs, with a small waist and just as small breasts….big time pear shape!

And, I fully acknowledge that doing something is never is as easy as saying something,

Boy ain’t that the truth!!! I’m the world’s best advice giver *ggg* Just ask me. Okay seriously, Scarlet, I don’t talk about my ex a lot (honest) but he’s also narcissistic–it’s a tough relationship to be in and I still have to deal with him even though we’ve been apart for so long because we have children. Take it a step at a time…a day at a time and as Sasha said love yourself and respect yourself. It’ll come. Trus tme

BTW I don’t know how tall you are but I envy you–I always wanted about three more inches *sigh* I have a very tall aunt and a very tall cousin but I’m average

Hey D! Welcome to Slim Camp. *grin*

Scarlet, it sounds liek you know what you need to do, you just don’t want to do it yet. One thign I heard at some point in time that has always stuck with me is...If you don’t love and respect yourself, why should others?

Understanding others, and their type/attitude is good, but understanding it, and still letting them put you down is not. And, I fully acknowledge that doing something is never is as easy as saying something, so I wish you luck in finding your own way to true happiness. *hug*

I’m not sure I could pinpoint one thing..maybe my family always sticking food in our faces for every emotional confrontation we faced our the fact that once I began to outweigh every member of my family (even the boys) my mom quit buying me clothes but lavished on them on the others…even though that meant I had to go around with jeans way to short. Her constant complaining when she had no choice but to buy me clothes. I grew 3 1/2″ in on month and grew steadily from there. I am the only girl over 5 7″ in my family. I do think now though it’s partly my cuurent relationship, which is really like my Mom all over again, except it’s my boyfriend who constantly put’s me down. I watched Dr. Phil the other day, something I normally never do, but he was speaking of a narcistic type attitude. Though I was watching and I related that thi was in fact Ricky and my Mom…I still found excuses for them or maybe for myself.

I need to stop by more often! I’ve been trying to lose weight since November. I diet, I slide, I diet, I slide. And it’s all to do with whether I’m writing hard or not.

I’d love to blame my weight gain entirely on my nonexistant thryroid, but I really should be doing more.

Maybe I’ll be back for inspiration! :)

I agree, sex has a lot to do with why I gained wieght. Or I should say Lack of sex. I started writing about it and stopped having it! LOL

Well, okay, not stopped completely, but well…k. I’m shutting up now.

Anyway, I agree about the kids thing. It’s got to be so hard now days to challenge them to be active when there is so many video games and such.

Thank you everyone for sharing. It’s wonderful to know we’re not alone.
