I joined on the 1st of Feb. but never went downstairs to weigh myself. Have a bit of agoraphoria & anxiety & have started therapy this month after phych eval for meds. have not done very well this month (also my 69th bday this week). Think I need to stay on the more positive side of things, rather than the complaining side. Am reading several books by Geneen Roth "Why Weight", Women,Food & God" She tries to help one get over the obsession with food & dieting. Just treat yourself well. Maybe concentrate on adding things to your diet (fruits, veg, whole grains,WATER) instead of depriving yourself of things. I'm trying so hard to be positive. Love this board & read every day (too many hours) Really need to see some comments in a positive vein. Diane
