So here it is...I was at the YMCA working out for an HOUR today. Shocked me too! It just felt so good and I'm down by 31.1 lbs now. Fantastic!
I was able to watch Oprah too. Portia de Rossi (Ellen DeGeneres's wife) was on, talking about her book, "Unbearable Lightness". This is about her eating disorder, purging, hating herself, feeling like she was fat as a 5'6" size 8 - beautiful woman. As Oprah said, most women feel that a size 8 is a GOAL weight. At times she lived on 150 calories A DAY!! Portia weighed as little as 82 lbs. The loss of control was what she feared the most. Starting to eat a favorite food and eating too much of it. She she avoided the food and the feeling. She has pictures of herself looking like a walking skeleton and all she noticed (back then) was a teeniest bit of tummy fat on her in the picture. Amazing - boy we can do a number on ourselves. It was a good show and very interesting.
Weight issues, food issues, addictions can be so hard to face and deal with - but so rewarding when we get to the other side. So I gotta keep going.
