I am very proud of yo to share your "innermost secrets" with the internet.<BR/><BR/>This is also not the first time you have done so. I cannot imagine the couage it takes to share the things that you have.<BR/><BR/>Please remember, people do not share thir rep numbers, or running times, or swimming times, etc. to brag (ok, some do, but we know you are not like that), but to help elicit support.<BR/><BR/>And here is the thing, which has taken me quite a while to learn: it is ok to ask for help! Other people have trouble asking for help too! <BR/><BR/>Yes, this includes me. Despite being of the male persuasion, I am concerned about my weight (I have gained 20 lbs since graduating college.) It is, in fact, good to be concerned about your weight, it is a major indicator as to how long you will live.<BR/><BR/>I will never belittle someone for the lifestyle choices they make; however, when someone asks for help I will provide it whenever I am able to do so.<BR/><BR/>I will tell you tracking the things you eat, and the workouts you do WILL help you on your quest to become more healthy. It does not necessarily have anything to do with how you eat: it has everything to do with your balance. <BR/><BR/>You can eat as many mexican pizzas as you want, it just remains to be seen if you are willing to lift the weights and do the cardio required to burn the calories.<BR/><BR/>I for one will be here to support you in your quest. My personal plan is to chart what I eat, and how, when, and where I choose to work out, and proclaim my results. If I find they do not work, I will find another way to try.<BR/><BR/>I wish you luk on your quest, and I will be more than happy to support you every step of the way.<BR/><BR/>Dan<BR/><BR/>BTW You have FABULOUS hair!trashycamarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251251129930039503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236409.post-42193529445898936362007-03-17T09:32:00.000-04:002007-03-17T09:32:00.000-04:00God, when I read your last post, I got kind of tea...God, when I read your last post, I got kind of teary. Thank you thank you thank you for being so brave. I could have written that post (including the part about being scared of everything :). Anyway...I don't even know what to say. I feel so much better. I think the loathing is part of the obesity epidemic. We're scared to even *try* to start taking care of ourselves because it leads to the self-loathing obsession. MS has had to suffer though hours of me sobbing over ill-fitting pants. Remind me to e-mail you some time about the train wreck that was my wedding shower :)<BR/><BR/>So, thanks to you, I sally forth to Chicago in 15 minutes feeling a lot less nervous. Because more than feeling excited or even nervous about the airplane (GOD I HATE THEM!)...I was scared of a new set of people laughing at me for being fat.Mary Flannery-Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226422452468389153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236409.post-81449366434668090082007-03-16T15:06:00.000-04:002007-03-16T15:06:00.000-04:00I don't think that your post was self absorbed at ...I don't think that your post was self absorbed at all. I know that there are kids starving and dying of AIDS but that is what I watch the news for. I come to your blog to hear about you. And you do have great hair.whimsical brainpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158339502955458999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236409.post-24164765917742414822007-03-16T13:34:00.000-04:002007-03-16T13:34:00.000-04:00I hate that you have these feelings. It can be so...I hate that you have these feelings. It can be so painful even when in the grand scheme of things its not death, poverty or something of that nature. I grew up with a Mother that felt the way you do. You are entitled to write about whatever you want here. And I believe these posts were very difficult and took a lot to write. Anyone who called you names should be ashamed of themselves. Asshats!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147506875370126093noreply@blogger.com
