Dinah,
I'm still struggling, too. I had thought the gaining was stabilizing, but nope. I'm going to have to break down and change my shopping habits. I'm going to try to keep fruit and cottage cheese and stuff instead of muffins and cookies.But it will be SO HARD! I eat when I am stressed. A lot.
I don't know if you drink socially, but I saw a little blurb on TV recently that alcohol can be hidden calories, because we don't usually count them. I know a glass of wine is about 120 calories. I usually have one or two. Good thing I'm not bingeing on alcohol, huh? For oh so many reasons.
Dinah, sweetie, we are okay the way we are. It's the inside that counts, not the outward appearance. I still say I'll trade extra weight for fighting depression with Nardil anyday. But if you want to do something for yourself, and for no one else, then I have faith that you can do it.
And I highly recommend yoga for feeling good about your body. If you've never tried it and would like to, Yoga Zone has an Intro. to Yoga tape that is wonderful! Very go at your own pace. But feels so good and seems effective at least in strength and flexibility.
Okay, enough advice from someone who is also struggling. Mostly just wanted to say, I hear you, and you are a lovely, lovely person.
Take care,
gg
