I have never did handle my eating very well. When I first put on the weight I joined all of these different weight loss diets and I found It almost turned me bullemic. I would litterlly throw up so by the next weigh in I wasn't over a pound.

I saw a dietician and that almost threw me over the edge. I stopped seeing her. Now I have a supportive doctor who tells me just to basically eat healthy cut off junk food but don't deprive maybe treat yourself to something once every weekend. And exercise.

I know what you mean about the mirror that used to be my biggest issue.

Then one day I stopped caring and then the stopping of the caring turned to "i'm big right now and it's a slow process but I wont be big forever. But since i'm big for now I have to love who I am right now."

So I look in the mirror and find nice features about myself.

I focus on those and it helps because I also suffer from a major mental illness and I can get easily depressed.

Also working out really helps in that area as well.

I mean I feel like a brand new me after I step off the treadmill.
