Here we go again

Apr 06, 2007 11:54

So I was reading this mag this morning and it had this story about a woman who was 34 stone, couldn't help but feel sorry for the lady, she can not get herself up and therefore is reliant on other people looking after her, and feeding her, so in my mind it is no longer her fault that she is the size she is, the people continuing to feed her crap ( Read more... )

I agree....it's not self control - it's a disease taking over.

And you're right - for many people. eating "normal" takes more self control than anything else. I hope you will be there some day hough.

sorry, sweet. its amazing how one person can watch the same the same conversation or show that we can and come away with a completely different take on it than we did and it can stay with us for days on end and we can work it and rework it over and over again.

i'm also really really trying to grasp the concept that there are this large majority of people out there that plan meals for fun, nourishment, social events, and enjoyment, eat the food, enjoy it but don't think much about it, finish it, put it away and that's that. and their weights don't fluctuate at all for years. its the same for years. i don't get it. decidedly unfair actually.

although. looking around. i can see that there is a scary trend in the up direction. i can see that more and more people are starting to have more and more trouble in the weight department. not looking good for us as a nation over here.

Not to good over inthe UK either.

I always think it's decidedly unfair how other people manage to enjoy and even look forward to social events that involve eating. lucky buggers!

Not all bad though I have a great circle of friends who are really understanding, like last night it was a friends birthday. she planned to go out for a meal with friends and then on to the pub for a few drinks, but was very careful to send the invite out saying that she was meeting at the resturant at 6 for anyone who wanted to join her for dinner and would be decanting to the pub by 8 for anyone else. dispite everyone else going for dinner no one batted an eye when I eventually turned up to the pub. There a fab bunch. I really am a very lucky girl.

Happy easter all!

My friends really are fab, this easter I got lots of eggs from lush, so I can have nice relaxing baths instead of being plauged by chocolate.

I'm definitly a lucky bunny,

Special big hug for fasting friend ((((((((()))))))))) I always miss you when i'm of line!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets to login sometimes ;)

From things you've said in the past it sounds as if your friends would be fine if you even showed up for dinner and then just had water so that is very cool. My friends and family and I are having to get used to that right now too as i am just protein shaking it right now so basically that's exactly what i'm doing. its either don't go to food events with people or go with them and don't eat. kinda weird but we're all just gonna have to deal because i'm not going to change it just to make them feel better.

I'm really hoping that in a few months i can be down to an ideal weight and start thinking about trying to eat again. although it terrifies the hell out of me. sure would be nice if i could somehow figure out how to control my portions. there we are back that self-control thing again :)

aw... hugs back!! i always miss you too!

As a fellow mod (of Bleed_me_skinny) and avid lj’er for over 4 years I’m letting you know that visualgirly was in my community and when she started to post spam like on her journal. I mean like 10/15 posts a day about it and this is a direct quote from her info “I am a Prothinspoer... I am in love with visualization and thinspiration to keep myself skinny forever... Prothinspo.com is my guide to my lifestyle. I am a person who is always on the hunt for new celebrity gossip and diet tips.” Need more proof that she is a troll? Her lj is far less then a year old; she has over 1,000 friends and is spamming around 650 communities ( ... )
