nearly there

Posted Jul 30, 2003

Well it seems as if i have been trying to lose weight forever! But now the end is in sight and i only have between 5lb - 71/2lbs to go. I want to get down to 8st 5 - 7.
You would think in the nature of my work i would find it easy peesy lemon squeezy but i don't. In fact with my previous history it is harder.
I have found it very difficult, and i have to be so careful what with having 2 eating disorders in the past. We have things called gremlins in our brains that pop up once in a while to say 'hello' and we just have to ignore them and hopefully they will go away. What i have found so hard is that a few of my clients decided to weigh me in each week...they thought it would motivate them....great all it did for me was to trigger me off, just what i didn't need! Having an eating disorder is very difficult for anyone else to understand, it is not like we ask to get it. It has been 9 years now since my last binge and sick episode, and i ain't going to repeat it ever! I am not saying i don't ever think about it i do, but i have just found a way in which i cope.
So i wonder how long my body will be stuck at this weight for? Its been 2 weeks for 1lb to go..hopefully it wont take me nearly 2 months to lose the rest of this.
