Well, here i am. I don't know if I am pathetic or just hopeful. Trying to look at the glass as half full I am going to say hopeful. I am a 54 year old female who has hated herself most of her life. I am not what you would consider very overweight if you saw me on the street . I have been on diet pills and diets since I was 18 when my boyfriend's mother in high school told me about her diet doctor. I have used food to ease my anxiety and provide comfort when I feel down. I also know now and am trying to face the fact that I eat because it is so very hard t for me to like myself. If I got down to a weight where I felt I looked good the feeling of thinking I look is so very uncomfortable for me.
So here I go, I am putting these thoughts down for all to read.
Please wish me luck,
Cathy

    You're in the right place. Welcome. If you log everything, ask questions, and offer insights as you have them you are going to learn alot about your relationship with food and slowly will change.

    Good Luck to you-I think we all know that this is a long and hard journey. This website is really good and has helped me in tracking what I eat, as well as my exercise. When you can see it, you know what you need to cut out or work on. Anyway, good luck to you and I know you can do this.
