Find your local...You need to deal with the assault. Find your local rape crisis center, they will DEFINITELY help you AND believe you! (I am currently a volunteer at my local one and I cannot believe the amount of love these volunteers and staff members have for their survivors) Its shitty that no one believed you and Im sorry about that. I just think youre gonna battle the bulge until you deal with whats really driving you to eat. <br /><br />Like you said, you didnt ruin this guys life. Dont give him any more power to ruin yours. Nobody ever deserves to be assaulted or raped.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759826087739490609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332396003029589596.post-25635112270073666872009-11-20T00:22:00.074-05:002009-11-20T00:22:00.074-05:00Wow! I just ready all of your posts so far and I ...Wow! I just ready all of your posts so far and I can SO relate to you! At my heaviest I was 194.5lbs. I joined the gym called Curves and got down to 182.2 before joining Weight Watchers. I'm now down to 160lbs and working on getting to my goal weight.<br /><br />My friends are scattered throughout the country, but my closest friends are scattered throughout a big city. Even though we are probably an hour away from each other, our schedules conflict so much that I don't get to see everyone when I want. It's depressing, but my 2 cats and boyfriend make it better. Or at least sometimes they do. Because admitting you like to hang out with your 2 cats more than people can be depressing sometimes. :)<br /><br />Food addiction totally exists. I crave food all the time and think about what I'm going to eat most of the day. The other day after work I started craving a chicken sandwich from a fast food place and I was literally salivating. I would have been drooling if I wasn't swallowing so much! It's crazy.<br /><br />You should start going to WW meetings. I have made a few friends at my meeting and even though I just spend 45 minutes with them a week, they encourage me SO much. You do need to start eating more during the day, but I have the same problem. I get busy at work and forget to eat or don't eat all day. When I finally eat it's something bad and there goes the whole diet plan out the window.<br /><br />I've been doing simple things at the gym: elliptical, classes offered, ab work on the mat they have, and a few pieces of equipment I know how to use. You can ask a staff member to show you how to use a few pieces of equipment if you need it. My gym has a 15 minute ab class that kicks my abs all the time. I stole a few of those moves and now do them in my own time.<br /><br />I will definitely read your blog and see how you are doing. If you need anything or just want to chat, I'm here (or at least available online).<br /><br />I better go before I clog up your comment section! Hope you have a good Friday!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264768858568940275noreply@blogger.com
