A while back Phil had a soapbox thread and I would like to start another one for horror stories. It appears that we have a number of forum members (myself included), who have fallen victim to cruel remarks from; friends, loved ones, strangers, employers (you get the idea). I wanted to start a thread where we could all vent and share here together and leave all of our feelings of worthlessness and hurt
HERE and not bring them back to wreak havoc on the rest of our lives. I know when I am upset I turn to food; as do many others. But food is also a backstabbing friend....it is there to listen 24/7, console you and not put you down. Yet as soon as you turn your back; it begins it's dirty work. So if you have a horror story or ten; please feel free to share. Internal turmoil is no better than external turmoil. If you fel that your story is too personal; find a forum member whom you trust and PM it to them. Only when your deepest and darkest feelings are out in the open; can you truly begin to heal your heart and your body. For most people, food is not the root cause of obesity; it is only a side effect. Find out what is really eating you; and you CAN lose the weight. That is why it is called a "Lifestyle Change"...because you have to change your LIFE; not just one thing.
