It may sound really corny, but just in this limited amount of contact that I've had with you I already feel like I'm in a better place. I don't feel so hopeless and overwhelmed anymore. I'm going to be a regular reader, for sure:)Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278969129855435203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803174101636245786.post-27374197674750300782008-10-16T09:31:00.000-06:002008-10-16T09:31:00.000-06:00Janie,I've found the blog to be helpful.

No one I know in real life reads this blog (I don't think) so it's easy for me to open and honest, about everything. From saying what I weigh, to talking about my eating disorder.<BR/><BR/>I figured you were anon. :) I think talking to people is a good wya to start, or having a journal. anyway that you can state either outloud or in writing the truth and honesty about your emotions.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982727833569851118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803174101636245786.post-143120898993633492008-10-16T08:17:00.000-06:002008-10-16T08:17:00.000-06:00Hi Allison-I don't have a blog, but I have been th...Hi Allison-<BR/><BR/>I don't have a blog, but I have been thinking about starting one, just as a way to reflect on how I'm feeling. I know I need to get over the emotional stuff before I can even really think about trying to lose weight. I just don't know where to start. (By the way, I am the same person (anon) who asked you to tell your story. I decided I didn't need to be anon, too confusing!)Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278969129855435203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803174101636245786.post-81657776040331208892008-10-15T10:10:00.000-06:002008-10-15T10:10:00.000-06:00Janie,Thank you!

Do you have a blog? I would love to read it.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982727833569851118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803174101636245786.post-38737891682886279252008-10-15T08:28:00.000-06:002008-10-15T08:28:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for posting your story.

Your story is similar to mine with the binging/sneaking food, although my parents have never sperated. My mom also dealt with stress and emotions by sneaking food, and it is a learned behavior for me. I too thought I was fat and needed a diet while still in elementary school. I have always thought I was too fat, even at my skinniest. I am 5'2 and 208 pounds, my highest weight ever. I know I need to be exercising and eating better but it all seems so overwhelming to me. I have been a member of Weight Watchers off and on for years, but it has never worked for me. Sorry to leave such a long comment! I've read tons of blogs, but never found one I felt I connected to so much. I hope to find the inspiration that I need from your site.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278969129855435203noreply@blogger.com
