What amazes me now is how much I constantly THINK/OBSESS about it! Filled with self doubt/ Constant self criticism. And fear - Don't want to go anywhere because people will think I'm fat. OMG! I'm wasting my life being such an insecure idiot!

but what's a BAMF?

that made me laugh - so cute!

DRINK WATER, WATER, WATER! WHEN YOU'RE DEHYDRATED YOUR BREATH CAN BE BAD!

HOW ABOUT YESTERDAY?? HA HA! HOW ABOUT NEVER HAVING GAINED IT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE! GEEZ! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!!

There's something slightly comforting about the fact that there's so many of us, but from all over! I'm not as alone as I feel! And I LOVE the folks from the UK! You rock!

where in AZ? yes too hot!!

I'm in Solana Beach right now! got slammed by the surf yesterday!

anyone live in AZ? i'd be great to have a workout pal!

omg - i so know. it's just so much easier to lie around and read. and not move my *kitten*! but remember - has there EVER been a time you said, "gee, i wish i hadn't exercised!"

I want in too! :)

Sweet. Honest. Thanks. :heart:

It's so hard to stop the self abuse. I constantly have this internal dialog that beats me up all day: I'm fat. I'm ugly. They don't like me. It paralyzes me. But be kind to yourself. We're meaner to ourselves than we would ever be to anyone else.

There's some great fiction out there that helps deal with this stuff. I teach Language Arts so I like fiction for young adults. Laurie Halse Anderson's "Winter Girls" is a good place to start. There's one by Sarah Desson where the sister purges too.

Hi everyone. My first post. It's good to have others. I binge because it's my way of "stealing" a little joy. I need to change what gives me joy.
