Comments on: The Journey to Finding Me http://www.anitasblog.com savoring life in small bits Tue, 24 Aug 2010 20:55:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: TDK http://www.anitasblog.com/weight-loss-story/comment-page-1/#comment-5 TDK Sun, 24 May 2009 22:07:24 +0000 http://www.anitasblog.com/?page_id=21#comment-5 Thanks as well for sharing this with us. I know what it is like to be over 325. At my peak, I was over 450. But am down 70+ pounds and working hard to make it the rest of the way. I too went through something similar - a 12 step program, to end the binging. That was in 1993, but now I am convinced that I had built a wall of protection around me to make sure that I faced no rejection. If you loved me enough to get past the wall, then you could be my friend. And certainly it kept me from romantic relationship. Because I have read your story, and because the women at Sisterfriends are so open, I have finally been able to start working on it again. Thanks! Thanks as well for sharing this with us.

I don't even know what I weigh anymore. Last I knew, it was around the 260 mark. I'm desperate to get this weight off. No one believes I weigh as much as I do, apparently, "I carry it well"... while it may carry held properly in different compartments... I feel every pound of it. I read your words here and am really getting it, you do understand and you truly have been there. The photos don't lie. I'm so tired of being in a body far too large for who I am. I'm about to check out the overeater's link you shared.. and go on reading your blog. Thank you Anita for being very open. I don’t even know what I weigh anymore.
