I'm Stacy, and have recently re-joined the ivillage community. I have been absent for about a yr and a half now. I think I posted here a time or 2. I also visited Caring for an Elderly Dog, and the Birds boards. My old dog died Christmas eve before last and that is about the time I stopped coming.'
Do ya'll want to know something? I had 2 different ID's when I was here before. That's because I didn't want anyone from the CfED or Bird board knowing I needed to loose 100 lbs. Shame on me. All I know is we ROCK!!! And for whatever reason it happened, at least "we" have the strenght to admit it, and seek others and give others support. I just cannot believe I denied it. I wasn't ashamed of anyone but myself.
I need help, and I need support. I need someone who is been there or going there. I humbly say I'm sorry, and ask for acceptance on this board and permision to join ya'll.
I'll help in any way I can also. I'm getting around to introducing myself on other boards and this board has been one of the first I lurked on.
Good Luck to everyone...
Take Care,
Stacy

Hey Stacy and welcome back to the board :)
Hi there Stacy! I am new here myself and I think the first step to a healthier lifestyle is to realize that there is nothing to be ashamed about, I just recently had to do it myself...for some reason I think I am the opposite of Anorexic (I knew I was a big girl but I thought I looked fine!) Ya ok...I had to step out of myself, take off the rose colored glasses and look at myself through someone else's eyes. That was a really hard thing to do - to admit to myself - hey your not a size 8 and you need to do something about it now...So here I am...I am sorry for the loss of your pet I've lost a few of my buddies and it's a hard thing to deal with. But if you need any support we are here!

Hi stacy welcome to the board. I am also new here. There is nothing to be ashamed about. Although my husband doesn't even know I come to this sight. He thinks I am perfect, Bless his heart. Five years ago I hardly had an ounce of weight on me. I also struggled with belimia. I got it under control for a while but after I met my husband we ate out alot and I was afraid of getting fat so I started vomiting again. After we got married and had kids I was always tempted to start again, I don't want to put my husband and kids through that I also want to be a good example to my kids. Anyway I got fat because I didn't know how to control It without vomiting. Know that I have completely messed up my body, I have decided to lose weight. First I had to forgive myself for not being perfect.
You need to be able to forgive yourself for messing up. Then you can be able to lose the weight again. Good luck, and stick with it.

I hope you get this...
I have made myself throw up too before...but I hate it so much and have a phobia about it, had to stop and got fat.
Funny thing tho, I look at it like this. I used to smoke too. Even tho I quit, I always want that cigarette...always.
When I binge, or when I feel guilty about something I did or something I ate, I want to make myself throw up. To rid myself of the guilt. Just like smoking, it's always in the back of my mind.
