Honeythorn, that's awesome! You really slimmed down a lot.
I'm happy because today I tried on some of my clothes that I'd gotten too big for recently because my bigger clothes were getting pretty baggy. I'm so proud of myself that I lost three dress sizes and I'm back down to the weight I was when I did way too many rave drugs, but this time I'm losing weight becasue I feel mentally healthy so I don't eat compuslively and I've been watching what I eat and exercising regularly. I still want to lose four to five dress sizes, but it's really pleasing to be able to physically tell the difference. It's also great to feel like I have more control over my life and my health in general.
But I'm really worried about my mom. She's had a lot of fucked up stuff happen to her that she's never gone to thereapy for, and I finally convinced her to go. Hopefully she'll get some counselling on overeating among other things. She's old and has diabetes and I really worry about her weight, and I know she really feels like shit that she's gotten as big as she has... so, as cheezy as it sounds, I really want to be there to support her. It really worries me that she was exactly my age when her dad died of a heart attack, so I really hope she does this for herself.
