I agree 100%...thank you for understanding...I'm keeping my fav jeans from that lovely skinny period. If I don't fit in them within 1 year, they're gone...but that's all I'm keeping...I'm off to drop them off once I finish ransacking my closet!!

Sorry to hear your having a bad day
Just thought id share something in case it might be something to help you --
Ive suffered from compulsive overeating and have been up and down the scale alot in my life. The more years that went by the worse i felt - mostly b/c i felt out of control with it. My salvation with it has been a book that changed my life -- its called 'Overcoming Overeating' by Jane Hirschmann and Carol Hunter. Here is the amazon link to it in case your interested
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check it out!

Thank you for your compliments...I guess the big picture is what upsets me...see, the first pic is the size I was for about 21 years...then my skinniest....
I just want to be that skinny girl again...but I know I wasn't healthy....
The problem is there is no cure for people who battle real weight issues. If its always a 30lb issue or a 100lb issue or even more its just a nightmare. The sad thing is we all know the truth simple food vs calories burned. But as hard as we try some of us can't always control it.
A death is a serious blow so do not feel bad for not taking all your energy and focusing it onto control when at that time your just in despair. You are allowed to fall - just do what your doing now and getting back up.
It will happen - you know it will because you have done it before.

First off, you are my IDOL for losing that much weight. I have about 40 pounds to lose before I'm content, and looking at your pictures gave me so much motivation!
You're beautiful, and if you did it once before, you can do it again!!!

Re: This *****....depressed and venting...
Listen, I understand! Again, I think you look amazing, but whatev! I'm so jealous of you!
My fat vs. thin times...
Senior year of HS I went from a size 18 to size 13/14 and felt sooooo good. I went off to college as what I considered a Skinny girl.
Blew up again to a 22...
First year out of college I saw a pill pusher in Plainview, Dr. Pleener, and dropped 60 lbs in like 2 months - no lie! Went from a 22/24 to about a 15/16 and felt soooo good!
Now I go from 22/24 to 26/28. It *****. But you still look good. I think it's the obvious thing about getting older it's harder. I lost like 50 lbs senior year just by walking home from school and bringing my lunch every day. I've done so many things now and none of the tricks work. I know what you are going through. It's very difficult.

If you lived closer, we could workout together. Alas, we do not, so I will sit on my couch tonite instead and eat fried items.

Warning: VENT BELOW....
I had one of those mornings where nothing goes right....I took the day off due to clothing issues (and I needed a mental health day)....here I am cleaning my closet....I'm having a nervous breakdown....
Most likely no one will care but....at my heaviest I was a size 26/28 (most of my life)....I was down to a 10/12 after losing 120 lbs....I gained back about 60 lbsVERY quickly as I lost a lot of it due to not eating much and exercising a lot....well, I was losing, then I lost my dad and I gained....I'm finally dropping weight again but this beyond depressing....
I have TONS of nice AE, Gap, NY & Co. and Express clothes that wouldn't fit one of the dimples in my @ss right now.....they're all bagged up to give to charity....
Public Service Announcement: Cleaning out your close while being a fatty-boom-batty is VERY depressing.....
Totally Understand and know exactly how you feel! Still trying to win the fight though.
We are in this together although sometimes it sure feels like we are totally alone.
Good luck!

I do realize that when I was at my skinniest (which I'm sure many don't even consider skinny) my hair was falling out and I was passing out left and right but damn....those are some tiny jeans starring back at me...
Wow...if you were that sick when you were at your skinniest...well you shouldn't be that size! Your body was obviously telling you something. I'd recommend reading up about Health at Every Size, which is anti diet and pro healthy living.
Sorry you're having such a tough time.
