[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 162984"] You guys are the best. *sniff* Until I started gaining this weight, I was never bigger than a size 6 and was usually closer to a 4. And I agonized over my weight. When I went from 103 pounds to 108 pounds, I switched to diet coke and wouldn't put on shorts. Stupid, I know. As I gained weight, it bothered me a little, but really I was ok with it. I like to think that I had overcome all those issues, but I think it was more that I was sick (undx'd heart disease) and didn't really have the energy to care. This is also when I quit wearing makeup and just started pulling my hair back in barrettes every day. I just didn't have the energy to do anything else. After the angioplasty, I lost 13 pounds without trying. But, then I had way more energy than I had in years so I was more active just because I felt good. I've since put those 13 pounds back on and then some. I am 70 pounds heavier than my heaviest weight before the weight gain. And I would swear that over the last 2 weeks the weight has shifted to my abdomen and neck and face. It's probably all in my head, though. And I am feeling more vulnerable right now. easy child is leaving and I always hate that. I don't know what I'm going to do when he moves out. I don't think he'll be allowed. ;) Ex always told me I was fat even when I was a size 4. Even though I really don't give a damn about his opinion and have some not so nice opinions of him...some of those old things linger. I think it all boils down to feeling kinda fragile right now. And I think that's from a combination of things. And the weight is the most visible. I will keep telling myself what you ladies have told me. I'm going to print this out and tape it to my mirror and everytime I start to slip, I'll read it. :flowers: [/QUOTE]
