I hear you, all the anxious girls on earth. I was thin and fit until i went on serious meds at 30 and almost instantly gained 100 pounds. I have a hard time with exercise too. I've started a program but it is so gentle it's really more physiotherapy than exercise. But i'm happy with it as all other times i've tended to overdo it and give up. I'm glad i'm disciplining myself to start small at last, at last.


I'm in Day Three of a diet. It's early days yet but i am really happy with myself. I was overeating to the point of discomfort every day and having to stay inert for hours to digest. I'd feel so desperate and yarn-haired after i ate i'd start looking up Overeater's Anonymous meetings.

Now i feel calm. The food can sometimes be a disappointment but i know it will be worth it in the end. I look forward to being thin and pretty and feminine and attractive and sexy and youthful and active and healthy. I'm doing it for ME, not for any doctor or therapist.
