Stubborn tortoise
I identify... didn't tell anyone at first except OH & kids, who had to know really. The kids (teens) thought it was very odd & started calling my CDC my 'dealer' as she delivered small packages in a secretive manner & money changed hands... lol! The name stuck (haven't told her!!!).
Gradually I told some friends, most supportive but one very mean/angry about it, she ended our friendship three weeks ago because of something my OH had done (had a coffee with her ex, his friend, while on a business call...????). A mutual friend said; 'It's very sad, she just can't stand you being slim.' But my best pals, who all live quite far away, have been fantastically supportive and lovely.
I think my OH gets fed up sometimes but has had the patience of a saint overall... he is the main cook & is a bit sad I won't eat his creations! But he is proud of me, though he loves me big or small. But he can see I am so much happier with myself now and also that tackling the binge demons was something I HAD to do for my sanity. Have discussed CD with any friend tolerant enough to listen too... going over & over it helps get it clearer in your mind!
I think getting a bit obsessed helps us to stay focussed and so succeed. I can see its not just me, others on the forums are verging on the evangelical too... seriously, if I had to fill in a form with my religion right now I would be tempted to put CD! I think that's GOOD. We will gradually calm down and let go of the obsession when going up the steps, I hope!
Well done on the jeans honey... and great thread!
