So this is Fatty.

No letter today because I have been thinking things through.

I have found a peace in writing to myself and in reading the comments from all of you. BlogHer is one of the most welcoming places I have found online. Full of support and wisdom.

I'm not ashamed of Fatty.

But now I want to "come out" as me.

Reading and commenting other posts has made me realise that I am selling myself short, I am so much more than fat and body angst. I have so many more interests and dreams that the thought of you people seeing me only as a one track mind one trick pony is pretty depressing.

So, I will keep my avatar, for fun and to remind me, but I want to invite you all into my other worlds, my blog, my networking.

Fatty will still crop up when the need arises and she will need your help! ...but for a while I want to be me.   

 

Is it your flab or your brain you need to fight? Answers on a postcard please.

I can totally relate to your feelings. I've been in this situation of gaining weight, then having to take it off so many times. And I've just embarked on the newest round. Believe me, the brain is my biggest stumbling block. Once I get my brain around 1) Food is for fuel, not fun  and 2) I feel so much better when I eat healthy and 3) When I lose weight I CRAVE outdoor activity.

Every time I fall off the wagon, it's because the BRAIN says "you need that dish of ice cream." It's certainly not the flab crying out for it.

I am here to support you 110 per cent. We're in this together, you and I.

A tool I just discovered, thanks to my daughter who has the same problem I do, is an iPhone app called LoseIt! Don't know why this works for me when so many other things haven't . . . but it's definitely psyched my brain into wanting to be healthy again. You might check it out if you can.

Cheers,

Judi

You are a beautifully created human being, & there is so much in you that needs to come out to give to the world, to bless those within your reach. Keep reaching higher & above what you have been, & keep going 'til you can't go any further. It's an exciting adventure trying to see what's out there & what you can do - I've had to push myself as well. I'm with you all the way, & I look forward to seeing what's on the road ahead for you. :D

Blessings, Michelle :)
