Ok, last week...filled with determination and bursting with conviction...I posted on how I was going to start eating right, get with the program, etc. Well, that didn't last too long and I was back to eating the old way...the one that has put all of this extra weight on me. Now I am so ashamed of myself, because I just don't get it...why, why why am I defeating myself? I have always been concerned with my appearance until just a few years ago, when I started feeling "old" and thinking "Oh, who cares what I look like...I'm OLD". Logically I know this is ridiculous, but I am having a hard time getting that nasty voice out of my head. I have really let myself go weight-wise and I am so disappointed in myself. Has anybody else ever felt like this? I feel like if I can just mentally get out of this negative mind-set then I can be successful eating right.

Also, how do we send messages directly to each other? Homegirl, you posted a reply on that earlier thread and I tried to write you back, but I don't know how that's done.
