I believe I have used my eating and my weight to "hide" myself. I am safe this way....no one wants me and I wont get hurt that way. Im sure getting alot of attention just losing 26 pounds... and when I lose the next 50 - 75 Im sure I will get more attention. I need to know how to channel and handle this attention. It wold be so easy to just let myself go at this point....induldge...throw caution to the wind...there is still a pretty steep hill in front of me and I will get there one step at a time!

I've lost 40 pounds in 3 months and I feel awesome and I've really made a lifestyle change. BUT I definitely still have not accepted myself/ am not comfortable in my own skin. My confidence has gone up a little since I've lost some weight but that's only because of losing weight. Now I'm scared that because I didn't accept myself and love who I am BEFORE I lost the weight (like you did) that I'll automatically gain it back eventually because I did it in the wrong order. I do still have 60-70 pounds to lose. THe only thing I don't understand is how to MAKE yourself love who you are. I've tried my whole life! I'm sure that's a huge concept that doesn't just have a one-sentence answer either. I'm just really worried about being able to love myself so that I don't gain it back. See, this is why I’m scared.

What a great pleasure it was to have met you and the other bloggers. My only regret is that I had more time to spend with each of you but the little time I did have was awesome. You are an amazing inspiration to your readers and I commend you for this blog (bowing down in reverence...oh crap, i think I just hurt my back!). But seriously, you are amazing and I lhope you enjoyed your Quaker weekend!! If anything, you are now "one with the oat"! Ha! Roni!

It is about accepting yourself and by doing so you really become in touch with who you really our. I think for most people, being alone or by ourselves is when we tend to binge, grab cookie after cookie, polish of that bag of chips and then eat the nights leftovers. It's as if being alone with yourself without any distractions (such as food) is uncomfortable. Learn to be your own best friend, you will never be let down. You are so right!
