Confidence
Hello Ladies,
Interesting point TI. You are very thoughtful at the moment aren't you.
Achieving the dream, is a dream come true. Being slim again has transformed my life, truly. However, it doesn't take away the difficult things in life.
Anxieties still remain, tough situations still arise, but knowing I've had sufficient control over my life to lose the weight has given me the confidence to deal better with other challenges.
There is no dream solution. It's a bit like winning the lottery I imagine.It changes your life, but it's how you deal with it long term that really matters.
Becks, I'm sorry you have the anxieties over your relationship with your other half.Mine also likes curvy women, although I have to say that when I look
at my "before" photos I wasn't "curvy"
just lumpy!
Since I've lost my weight he is so proud of me and keeps encouraging me with my new obsession, buying clothes.
BecauseI feel so much happier with myself it has made me easier to live with
and our relationship has improved.
He knows I'm with him because I want to be, not because I can't finnd anyone else. It's all very complex and goes back to why we allowed ourselves to gain the weight in the first place!
The anxieties don't go away, but for me
LL and CBT has helped me recognise them and deal with them rather than ignoring them and covering them up with food and drink as I did before.
Good luck with the rest of your journeys. Don't be tempted to give up - it's life changing.
