Ok, 2nd bit of news this week, I am not leaving Minimins. I thought I should because I have stopped 'dieting' completely and started a whole new lifestyle. However, I reckoned without Mini and her irresistable love and kindness. So, still here but in a very different frame of mind. If you read my thread about leaving you already know that I have got myself in a right turmoil about the whole dieting thing. The constant evaluation of my own behaviour/eating habits/self worth etc.. had just got beyond a joke, I found myself unable to think about any subject without it relating back to my weight. So I made a decision. No more feast or famine for me, just loads of exercise, good food and a 'normal' attitude to life. I already feel so much better, I have neither stuffed or starved, but I am back swimming (26 lengths today) and I feel calmer and happier. I know that for most people this site is very much about weight loss - and I totally understand that, but I want to lurk and encourage everyone here to be at least kind to themselves. I think we all deserve that.
With love and thanks to Mini for her unstinting and unjudgemental support. Barbxxxxxxxxxxxx
