Christin is a shining example. She obviously can speak to this way more than I can. But, she's been exactly where you are. And look at her! She looks amazing. If you're worried about making goal - who set it for you? Did you? Honestly aren't you well within the normal healthy weight range for your height right now? Isn't your BMI "healthy"? Why get so hung up on a number? If celery is making you gain, that's a sign you need to change things. You have to feed your body. You have to allow yourself time to heal. I'm glad to know you'll be talking with Christin. I know she can say exactly what you need to hear right now.

Mayberry, you're such a sweety. Thank you for this... My only desire is that we ALL learn to be happy and healthy at the same time. We lose weight for one reason regardless of all the external visual factors. We lose weight to better our health. I said several months ago that my main reason for losing weight was so that I could be there for my kids and my family. I know that Amy will agree with me here. The sad paradox here is that in utilizing a plan such as KK I felt like I contradicted my very purpose. It was a very sad realization to come to and one that I had to face though in order to move forward. And after I made that decision, I determined that I WOULD NOT let it beat me.. that I would do everything in my power to turn my health around and continue with my quest towards better health not only for myself, but for my kids as well.

And Amy, I want you to hear this... I also had to let go of what my head and Heidi had told me was a good "goal" weight. I think I told you... Heidi was never satisfied with someone achieving goal. Even after I was 5lbs below what my original goal was... she encouraged me to continue on the diet to "get down to her weight" if I wanted to continue to model for her and maybe even make that a carreer. But I let it go. I realized that was not healthy for me and I worked very hard to up my calories up and finally.. Guess what.... my clothes still fit, I haven't been on a scale in a month, and I'm ok with that. Because it does not control me any more. I am so proud of the progress you have already made and I want you to be there too.

OK off my soapbox now LOL I guess getting super banned does that to ya...

Ok..there I said it. Hard to admit ...harder to fix.

That was brave. Please take care of yourself. Being thin isn't worth that. Your family needs you. Please stop. That's really all I can think to say.

KIMKINS plan and Heidi Diaz has set me up for failure. I can never live up to what she had me THINK was normal. She does not even do it.
I have had to cut my food way low and still can not get to goal. Now if I have a extra bite of celery..I gain.
I think Heidi loves to see this happen. She can not do her own plan..and know what..I am in a catch 22...I know in my head I can not do her plan forever and in my heart I want to get to goal...
I have only shared these feelings with a few...not so sure what made me dump this out tonight...
I blame Christin..lol

Amy, I'm glad that post still stands. As hard as I"m sure it was for you to admit something like that, I think that anyone who is still over at KK and lurking here needs to see what Kimorexia does to a person. She always insisted that it wasn't possible to cause someone to have an eating disorder, but virtually everyone who has done KK for any length of time has been indoctrinated into anorexic thinking about calories, and thinking that food is the enemy because even one bite more than what she says will make you gain weight... backed up with what the scales say when you have an extra bit of celery.

It isn't an extra bite of vegetables making you gain weight though. The problem is the way that the body gets so incredibly out of whack while being on her starvation diet that makes it react with fluid retention when you eat anything "extra". It's not really extra food though, it's just that your body isn't used to it any more.

It is only a temporary condition though. As you go back to eating a more normal amount of food, your body won't know how to handle it at first. Be patient though, willing to give your body time to re-learn how to function properly, and it will settle down and react much more normally.

[Amyb1569]

I know I have changes to make and as I have told Christin...I am working on working on it. I really am.
Jo I would love to hear what you have found that has worked.
I also know 2big has some info for me. 2big..I got your e-mail and will e-mail you soon. I am intrested in what you are thinking.


Thanks for the support. It is not that I am doing something or need to stop something. I eat. I just have some ideas that little is best and on and on. I have gained 10 pounds since leaving KK. I think the emotional baggage is hardest for me.

I did not mean my post to sound so desperate. Just wrote without thinking..lol

[Cutie]

terry:



you & kat....just won't let anyone forget that will ya?



now...


to the "other" amyb: like so many others have already said...i'm glad your post is still up. as difficult as it is for you to admit your struggles--i think it's important for others to see the struggles and pains--sometimes, for those still in bondage, it's the only way to get their attention--as sad as that may sound. as for you...i think it's important for you too to have your struggles out there. to keep things a secret is to give it power. and you've given this illness too much power for too long already. come stay out of that darkness and let others help you stay in the light of support and compassion. so many people are here for you--let us all help you beat this, 'cause girl YOU CAN! yes, it will take time and yes, it will be painful along the way...but the journey back to health and happiness will be worth it to you and for your family.

Thanks, but I have to be sweet. If I'm not, Aunt Bee will beat me. She's a beast I tell you a beast!



Amyb ~ It's okay to struggle. You're doing an amazing job of putting yourself out there and being vulnerable for the good of others and yourself. That's a very difficult thing to do. We'll add those things to the stuff you can accomplish, but Heidi never could. Is any wonder she's still trying to attack you? It's pathetic, but so not suprising!

Nite all!

Glad you did post it cause now you have gone public about it.
you need to fix your body before you can make it work how you want it too and you got a whole life time to put the finishing touches on your newly remodeled LC WOE, but first having used kimkins.con as the designer and contractor you need to get in there and shore up your foundation first and let it cure a good long time before you start in on those roofing timbers.

woo hoo another member of the really really banned camp. Welcome Christin. now you got to learn the secret password so you can see the site

Amy, I'm gonna share with you what Daniella told me the other day that was hard for me to realize.

YOU DID MAKE GOAL!!!!!! You are a thin beautiful woman... LOOK at your photos... you look amazing. That is a success no matter what the scale says.

I too fretted for MONTHS because I felt like I "never got to goal" too.. I was 5 pounds away from my "goal" when I left KK...I let that 5 lb difference leave me in a state of complaining and feeling like a failure.

So, let me open your eyes young lady... your goal was not really a number on the scale.. your goal was to lose weight, look good. And.. YOU DID!!!

It's because your body is smart enough to know it needs help. It's because, hopefully, you know we all care. It's because you are seeking answers, as you should be. It's not something you should be ashamed of admitting to. There are many other people struggling to cope with the same issues. You should put the scale in a closet for awhile, put together a diet based on health and good nutrition, and try and release that mindset which was created by Heidi.

2BIG, help me out here.
