Depression can creep up on you without you seeing it and once it has you it takes time to get free. I am glad you have coping mechanisms in place. Take care.

I'm having all sorts of ups and downs with mine. Everytime its not quite right I put on weight (took me neatly 6 months) last year and the doctors just looked at me as if I eat chips and crap all the time!I've lost the extra I put on but it doesnt stop the looks from people, whom even though you tell them whats wrong they choose to ignore. My thyroid went a bit funny again before xmas and I put on over half a stone but have managed to lose it again. If you can do a bit of research and keep the thyroid thing in mind....it does make life more difficult than it need be. Hugs Have you had your thyroid levels checked?!

You are a very talented woman. I'd add photographer to that list, your last lot of photos made me feel warm inside, yet want to cry. What weight you are matters less than this feeling inside that cherishing yourself is not for you. I don't think you would be so cruel to another person as you can be to yourself. Can you not try being as kind to yourself as you are to strangers? I agree! You are a very talented woman.

Nothing can take that away. What you look like doesn't matter to your friends who love you for being you, not for being fat or thin. You deserve to be happy and healthy and at peace with yourself. Facing this demon and talking about it is an extremely courageous and positive thing to do, and a massive step forward. You should be really proud of yourself. There will be good days and bad days on this journey. Rejoice in the good and learn from the bad, but don't punish yourself. Make peace with yourself, be kind to yourself, and be gentle with yourself. You deserve it. xxx When I think of you I think of a very talented linguist, who uses words with wit and wisdom, and a gifted and sensitive musician and artist. Nothing can take that away.

Thank you. I'm also hoping I can find a way to fight against them. I'm looking into private therapy (when I can afford it) as a possible option. So fingers crossed!

I found similar issues when I first lost a lot of weight. I discovered there were all sorts of reasons that deep down inside I felt that I didn't deserve to be a certain size, unlike others. I never found out how to destroy those feelings, but knowing they are there gives us a lot more power in the fight against them. You will always be enough lemonypillows, whether you're 4 stone or 40 stone. I wish I could tell you that in a way that you can hear.
