Gaining Weight Reasons

[SandraC]

Hello All ~ I'm been reading thru WISH threads and noticed a few negative comments about "reasons/excuses" for gaining weight.

I'd like to give our "reasons/excuses" a positive hug for a change. Gaining weight DOES serve a purpose in our lives.

Here is my story in brief. I battled weight all my life. I've been 120 lbs as an adult and 240 lbs as an adult. I've had stresses like everyone else and dealt with them thru food. I know it's not healthy, but can be controlled with effort, support and good attitude. The food I ate served a purpose of comfort, social and de-stressing purpose at the time. Now I CHOSE to comfort myself with healthy choices. I embrace the calories I ate to sooth me and I'm ready to let them go. THANK YOU EXTRA CALORIES, you served me well.....and now.....good-bye.

I just wanted to share that with you all. Blessings, Sandra

Thanks Sandra! We all need some positive thinking! It is a New Year, and we have no excuses NOT to make our goals. I too comfort myself with food, but with good friends help, I can battle this. Hope we all have a good "smaller" year!

Positive thinking. I'm for that!

I am so pleased that you have felt positive feelings regarding your desire to give that positive hug for those extra calories serving you well.

There are reasons for that weight gain serving a purpose, but for me--I can't give mine a hug. I just cannot.

Good for you to say good-bye to those extra calories that you are ready to CHOOSE to eat healthy!

Positive thinking. Way to go!
