You sound just like me! I have tried to have my husband validate me through the years AND have had a struggle with my weight for the last 10 years. Of course, there is more that probably makes us bosom buddies, but I can't list them all here. You Are Not Alone!!! :) Wow! You sound just like me!

I had to let go of the victim mentality as well. I had to learn to forgive my those who are dear to me for the hurts they have caused and also I had to forgive myself. I had to renew my mind and heart so I can start to live. "Truly Live!" I am learning to distress by writing in my journal or going for a walk and talk to God. I am learning about who I am in Christ. Also, I feel that God has placed awesome women of God in life to help me on this journery of renewal to where God wants me to be. And, I am happy that you shared this on your site because it allows others to know that they are not alone in this fight. I am too learning that it is more important to be healthly thin to be skinny. I do want to be able to play with my kids and also for my grandkids in the future. And, also to live a long fulfilled life with my husband. And, definitely to able to do what God has called on my life to do. So, thank you again. Once again, you hit it right on the nail for me as well. I had to let go of the victim mentality as well.

I was alway unable to gain weight and struggled with the love of self my whole life. It is an amazing journey to learn how to love yourself. Naturally, as soon as I feel I was beginning to master it the rules changes with age slowing down metabolsim and now I find myself having to work the other direction to get back to that acceptance point. It is SO much more than food and outward elements!!
