Here's a lil' of my background.................
I lost weight about 4 years ago by going on the Atkins Diet. I lost 60 lbs in 8 months which is good. I did well on the diet, but once I hit goal weight it wasn't enough. I continued to loose 15 more pounds and ended up very thin. I had always wanted to be "skinny." I was of the right mind and thought until I reached goal. Then, once everyone complimented me and such I thought "if this is good, than loosing more weight is better!"
Thank the Lord that I have friends and family that immediately caught on to what I was doing. The dr. said that I was Anorexic and that it was very important that I start eating right or my body was going to shut down. I started to try to eat right.
I've remained at the same weight give or take 5 lbs now for over a year which is wonderful for me!
I still struggle daily with the thoughts of my stomach being too big, being bigger than the girl I'm standing in line next to and being paranoid that my clothes are getting too tight.
For the most part, I've been doing MUCH better. I've told myself that this year I want to be good to my body and to eat healthy.
I'm not sure really why I've shared all of this about me. It's not really like me to do that............ I'm just asking for acceptance and lots of prayers from each and everyone of you! Thanks so much!
