Confidence crisis
Hi, Today its one of my flat mates birthdays and the idea of going out clubbing terrifies me as it seems I've developed a mentality that going out at my current weight isn't allowed and that I only feel it is acceptable once I reach my goal weight.

Thursdays... Ugh!
Are Thursdays difficult for anyone else? I looked back over my food diary and have been recalling my thoughts on those days. For some reason, I seem to do really poorly on Thursdays. I don't know if it's the stress from a long work week, or if it's anticipation of the weekend, or whatever. But on Thursdays I have…

Earliest Memory of having weight problems...

I must have been 8-9 years old and I was sitting in my doctors office with my Mom and Dr. My Mom was saying things about my weight (how I had a problem) and asking the Dr. how I could lose weight. The Dr. suggested a Barbie…
