I'm still not there at all. To me, it IS a daily struggle, even when I feel awesome after a good workout. It's the food that gets me, and continues to.

I know this will continue until I have a mind shift - a shift in my way of thinking, but that's not happening with diet and exercise alone - so I'm working outside of those things to understand where my attitudes on this issue comes from.

I never meant to take anything away from your journey by saying that some don't understand food issues - perhaps I should say then MY food issues aren't understood? I don't know - I do maintain that many people (I'm not saying you) don't understand very real food issues - they think it's made up or a sign of weakness, but it's a very real thing.

I don't know - but I do know that you're doing an ass-kicking and inspirational job with the whole thing -and attitude IS a big part of it....

We all get there at different times I guess.

Have you read 8 Weeks to Optimum Health yet? That one helped me alot. I always felt that I was punishing myself when eating healthy foods and rewarding myself when eating junk. But that book helped me shift my perception by tuning into how the food made me feel.

I wanted to mention that I think you feel bigger because you are developing body awareness. When not exercising you can just ignore your body but when you're using it you can't. Does that make sense?

I'm still at 151.5 lbs. Not bad but I would love to get down to 140. I just wish my breasts would stop shrinking at this point.
