I am proud of you for affirming taking care of your health by eating meals at appropriate times each day weather or not you are hungry or not for the sake of being a well person.

It is of concern when I am going to the low end of the size weight chart, which I have done. I prefer to be at the weight that is on the chart because I can trust it more than my own viewpoints. Just as I use the minimun daily requirements that are printed, I do use it.

It is great to be the claimed health benificial weight that is published. When I notice myself getting off of that criteria it is a red light for me to begin again to refocus and start again a different genre in the weeks ahead. There is something uncomfortable about eating to me weather I am over consuming in degrees of three or four plates at one sitting or hardly consuming a plate. I just wish to not die from this. For me it is not ever going to look comfortable and for the rest of my life, I will think about it.

I weight one-hundred sixty pounds, and stil complain, yet I don't wish to again have heart palpatations, fainting spells, trouble speaking, bowel accidents, and be causing my brain to go into more mania even though I am taking the Lamictal, but restricting so much that the treatment doesn't work and purging so often that the system won't process the bi0-polor treatments.

Love, Robin

Weight is just a useless number and size on clothing is a useless number. Numbers can be used for things like money, things like birthdays, blood pressure analysis, speed of a car, years at college, and work, and many useful things. I do not appreciate looking at scales to make decisions about how I might allow food to eat, because numbers don't have anything to do with being healthy by eating the small amounts it takes to stay alive and look ok.
When I see a reflection in a mirror it is not the real person it is an immage. When I look at someone standing in front of me, I do not notice what they wear, how tall they really are, or care too much about them appearance wise; I am focusing on weather they are my friend or not, if they interest me etc. Other people see me in a good way mostly, so I want to do that with myself also and quit beating myself as much. I am more critical to me than I should be and most people need to know that that is true of most of the population. Love Robin

The journey is a challenge, but stability, beauty of self, respect for self, and kindness are important. Images are only superficial, yet we ought to boost our own and that takes creativity which involves many diciplines-mind control, body control, and love and forgiveness.
