Weighty things

I've been trying to get help with my binge eating, but the psychology door has closed on me for the moment. However, I'm hopeful of another avenue, accessed through my GP, but at the moment, it means that I have to face the daily challenges of not-bingeing on my own. But (positive but), despite all this, since Jan 2010, I've managed to lose, gain, lose, gain and now lose again weight and have now lost 9lbs, bringing me once again to just below 17st (16st 13.5lb to be precisely). In some respects, losing weight is relatively easy as I have a competitive side and my stubbornness can be strengths for this, by setting an event (my degree graduation ceremony), a date (19th Jun 2010), by which I want to look better for. The difficulty is losing the 20 or so years of thinking behind me using my weight as a protective layer, a shield, and each day addressing the desire not to draw attention, to be seen. But difficult is not impossible :)
