hi Texas Chic,
thanks for the support. I'm glad to hear that you are over the anorexia (you are, right?) That is such a scary disease. I completely understand the impulse to couch-surf and eat. I'm very good at this...although I'm trying to break out of it.You know, although I want to lose weight, what I'd REALLY like is to be happy with myself regardless of what size I am. I'm tired of feeling that if I don't look like a size 2 model then I'm ugly. I know it's my fault for letting myself think this way, and I'm working on getting over it.
thanks for writing back. Hope things are going well with your new kitty!

> Yeah, the key seems to be exercise. How to get motivated (especially with depression) is the million dollar question. I was anorexic for a while several years ago and go down to a size 8 (my comfortable size is a 12). That was when I was working and going to school and not getting any sleep, much less eating. Then I finished classes, got a 9 to 5 job, and next thing I know, I'm a size 16. That's where I am now. I've just gotten into the bad habit of going home and sitting on the couch until time for bed. If I can break that habit, I'll have it made. Oh, and it also doesn't help that while sitting on the couch I compulsively over eat.
