I've been lurking here for a month or so and finally decided to post since this topic is so close to my heart. I can feel your pain, lonelygirl, and I'm another fat woman. I am doing a psychoanalysis, four times a week on the couch, and I'm currently entering my 4th year. We are JUST NOW getting around to my weight and body issues. For me, these issues are the hardest ones to talk about, much harder than my abusive father, the early loss of my mother, and all the other stuff that causes me problems in my life. I am not only fat, I am very tall (over 6 feet), which makes me very conspicous. That combo has been very bad for me in many ways. I was bullimic for 20 years and finally stopped with extensive therapy. I was pushed into getting help when my daughter developed anorexia, I felt like a virus that had contaminated her with my eating issues. My very kind and patient analyst helped me stop even though we never directly talked about it. You are not alone in your pain, many of us share it. I don't think you are digusting at all, you are very smart and thoughtful. You are so articulate, I would also be your friend if I could.
