Losing Weight

Oprah says there is no such thing as a diet that works. That is the TRUTH. I have been trying to lose weight since I was 10 yrs old and it just isn't going to happen. Now before some of you who are faithful readers jump on your horses and rush to email and say "Marie-Fay, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!", I'm not. But I am also realistic enough to recognize the fact that I will never be thin.

I will be thinner .........than I am right now but not thin. That is a fact of my life.

I am a compulsive overeater. There are times that I can not stop ........even when I am full. It is

frustrating because I thought I was doing pretty well until yesterday. There was nothing stressful about yesterday. All I did was go to work for an hour and half and then drive my sister to Maryland. We had a lovely drive. It was really nice but I was eating cherries all the time.

Then when I got home, I had dinner and some more fruit. I was full but I didn't stop. That is what a complusive person does. For EIGHT LOUSY MONTHS I have not been complusive and then yesterday I BLEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is frustrating. I hate being on guard every minute of every day of every month of every year!!!!!!!!!!! but that is what I must do.........for the rest of my life. I will slip occassionally but I will NOT GIVE UP. I can not lick this demon but I can sure give it a lot of grief and I intend to do so. And so, we begin again........one hour at a time,one day at a time, one week at a time,etc. God gives us adversity in order to make us strong. If that's true(and I believe it is), then I will be an AMAZON.........WATCH OUT!!!!!!!
