Hi vggiegirl,

I could have written your post several years ago. Before you can have a permanent, lasting change in your body and weight, YOU NEED TO LOVE YOURSELF AND HAVE ENOUGH SELF-ESTEEM TO BELIEVE YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY!!!!!!

You will not stick to any diet plan until you believe you are worth it. I had people all my life tell my with their words and attitudes that I was a worthless piece of sh*t because I was fat. It wasn't until I started working on my self-esteem issues that I was really able to make permanent changes in my lifestyle. I still struggle with my weight a bit, but I think I love and respect myself too much now to go back to my old patterns of eating.

I have found Dr. Phil's books to be really helpful -- especially "Self Matters." ((((Good luck))))
