Elizabeth, honey, you are sooooo fun and I know all the people in your life love you just the way you are. Weight is an issue with so many people, me included! I have lots of health probs that keep me from being able to maintain a healthy weight and it sounds like that is what happened to you. Unfortunately our society is so unforgiving when it comes to heavy people. I have the same issues when I'm with friends who are able to maintain their weight. I've used humor to cover it up for years. My husband is not critical either. But I know he really feels that I would be happier if I was smaller and didn't have these health issues.
But you hang in there. PM me anytime. One thing has helped me is to go cold turkey off chocolate and sweets. I allow myself a muffin with coffee or cereal for b'fast. Other than that, I eat whatever I want. Really. I lost 40 pounds that way. Once I'm off sweets then everything else tastes better. Unsweetened Special K Red Berries and Special K Fruit and Yogurt are realllly good for the munchies. I do treat myself to flavored coffee as often as I want and I don't feel deprived. To be honest, I suspect that sweets make me hurt all over, kinda achy.
Girl, this forum wouldn't be the same without you! You and Wexy are my comic relief!! Bo says, "Wizabet, doan be sad! Cause you n Wexy mak me happy!!!!" I am so serious! PM me anytime! Maybe we can support each other. God Bless, Cynthia
