Here is ur kick !! \_ I understand I just had people on this site kick me a couple of weeks ago. I'm starting to spend more time on the site, I think I'm slowly falling back in line ! Good luck !!

I agree !! But letting go is easier said than done . I also think it important that we know each others struggles as well as successes. I wanted people to share so that others can understand that Yes we all have been through this You are not alone. I think sharing helps us " to let go" a bit of unconventional therapy if u will ?

I just had a flash back ( I totally blocked this out for years) of one of my most embarrassing moments being fat. I hope it motivates someone and I hope others share theirs. It makes me grateful for the band even though I'm moving at snails pace right now: 12 yrs ago I was a labor union rep. I had to represent a worker who was unfairly disciplined. I saw that the chair with arms that I had to sit in looked small but I was too embarrassed to ask for a different seat so I slowly and firmly pushed my bottom into it. Being the great rep that I was , I argued my clients case with professionalism assertiveness and a bit of a threatening tone as they were condescending and disrespectful and the evidence was in our favor....Well I totally forgot about the chair. In all my confidence of successfully arguing the case , I stood up with a firm " take that!!" Attitude to find that the chair was STUCK to my butt !!! There were 4 people there , i will never forget their faces, the direct supervisor who snickered with his head down , his manager who belted out a laugh that would make me vomit if heard it today, a guy from HR who kept a straight face but you can see tears of laughter in his eyes and a woman from HR a bit over weight herself who had an embarrassed smile as if she was just glad it wasn't her ! I kept the " take that !" Attitude as I pushed the chair off my butt and left the meeting. I kept it together long enough to debrief the worker I was representing but when I got to my car I balled like a baby. Today I kind of chuckle at it but at the time I was so hurt .a couple months later I started Atkins for the first time . I hope others will share I think it will help others to know they are not alone and there is help.:-)
