Good afternoon fellow addicts! I've been on the go all week. Struggling somewhat foodwise, but not doing horribly.
Mary, I'm sorry I haven't been a very good buddy lately. Have had a rough week.
hang in there everyone!

Hi, I would like to join this group. I have tried plan after plan after plan, and challenge after challenge after challenge, and I don't stick with anything. I need to lose 70plus pounds. I met none of the goals I set for myself in 2004. I've decided it doesn'tr matter what the plan is if you don't face the underlying problem, so here i am to face it! Posted by Kitchenlabs

I am posting this, because it was on last weeks thread.

Kitchenlabs!!! We will find you a buddy soon.

Hi everyone,

Just checking in on this new week. Got lots to do today but always have time for you guys.

Have a good day.

Hi all,

Just checking in. Also WELCOME to Kitchenlabs! I believe you are right on target about the need to deal with the underlying issues that make us eat. This is something my buddy and I share about and it's helping me to stay sane and out of the food. This is a wonderful, but difficult time of year for me. So many of the old hurts and unresolved issues come racing the surface and I’m faced with the choice of eating them down or sharing them with my accountability/support buddy. For now, I’ve chosen to share them and I’m grateful for that decision. I hope everyone has a good week.

Hi everyone,

Well I am going on vacation and won't be back until Jan04.
So I just want to wish you all a Happy & Holy Christmas

CoverdGirl · 12-15-2004, 09:15 PM

Hi all, sorry about being MIA last week. My dh is having gastric bypass surgery and I am totally wiped out emotionally from that. He has asked me twice now to have it done too. It's a very hard decision for him, so i don't want any bashing on that. He has over 200 pounds to lose and believes that to be the only way for him to lose it. And yes, I've told him about Atkins and the boards here. He tried but couldn't stick with it long.

Actually neither have I... I feel so guilty. If I had lost the weight when I FIRST started Atkins, he would be motivated to try it too seeing it work for me. So I feel like I have let him down by not succeeding at Atkin's for myself.

Whoa.... major emotional issues huh? LOL

I was partnered with Hani but I can't find her now! Anyone know her email addy????

Thanks for listening,
Kelly

SilkAsha · 12-16-2004, 11:45 AM

Hi - I am looking for a buddy. Long story short = lost 60 pounds and kept if off for a year, then relapsed and gained 80. I want to exercise and live low carb (I know this is the best WOL for me) but am not ready to think about weight loss -- I thought I had my eating disorder licked because I had lost the 60 without bingeing and purging, and I got over confident. I feel that if I concentrate on the weight (instead of concentrating on my behavior), I get sicker instead of healthier.

Anyone out there who can give me support?

I am very frustated with the lack of real treatment for those of us with eating disorders, and this support group looks like a pretty healthy forum. I am ready to think about my health right now, but will probably dig in more after the holidays.

Thanks

CoverdGirl · 12-16-2004, 05:38 PM

I just PM'ed you Silk, offering to be your partner. I can't find Hani and have PM'd her several times without reply. I'm needing one BADLY!

I hope I didn't go outside of the format for partnering here... just thought about that.

Sorry if I went out of rank...

Merry Christmas all!

manalu · 12-18-2004, 06:00 PM

AriAnne · 12-23-2004, 07:46 PM

Are accountability partners on the same page- as to both need to lose weight ? and don't necessarily mean one has made it to goal? Neither one is "the leader" - but both are equal?

I guess the real question is- what requirments does a AP have? and how does one choose one? can both be the same weight? and is there only one per person?
