Hi All,
Its not Lou, Its her Hubby Vic,
Firstly I would like to say a big thankyou to all of you out there for the support you have shown Lou in the past and are still showing her now. Every now and then when this page is left open I have a read of what has been said, but today Lou mentioned to me that I should have a look at what people had written, it is amaizing how supportive and caring you all are.
Lou and myself have been together for thirteen years and in all that time there has been some kind of diet or weight loss plan living with us, side by side. I try my best to understand what she is feeling and thinking, but as she quite rightly says I suppose "Dont Understand" and probably never will fully understand.
I love her whatever she weighs, whatever she measures and whatever she eats, but maybe that makes me part of the problem, maybe I should have a go at her about it ? But sorry I cant.
I know it sounds like a bit of an old cliche but some of the nicest, friendliest and most likeable people I have ever met have been overweight, I think that the first step for Lou and anyone else that feels the same way is to learn to like yourselves for what you are, I dont meen learn to live with it because there is no hope, far from it, its just that I think self hate is just another trigger.
Lou is the most caring, compasionate, loving, maternal and understanding person I have ever met and I cannot imagine life without her, she has helped me through my own massive emotional and health problems and if she can learn to love herself 5% as much as Caleb, Joe and I do, I know that she can find the right mindset to overcome (or live) with her deamons.
I wish all of you the best of luck in the fight against yours and once again thankyou for your support and appologise for waffling on.
