I know having support is good, but, sheesh, it also makes me feel kinda crappy that I can't just do all of this alone. <BR> <BR> Anyway, I do think I'm making a bit of progress food-wise. After talking about the frustrations I've undergone with my therapist (and her seeing some of the physical signs of that stress), she talked about me trying to get everyone in my household to help me me...

I've been trying to do 20-30 minutes a day in the morning after I wake up and before I eat anything.

I've actually been back a little bit and tracking my nutrition and such, but not really paying much attention to the community aspect. I suppose I'll just put everything out there and see if anyone feels like commenting when they have something helpful to offer. <BR> <BR> I'm 29 and live in Panama City Beach, FL. I've been struggling with my weight for a long time, but as I get older it seems to be getting worse. Ironically I used to think I was fat whe... Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:41:13 EST
