Sweet sylvie. All of us have tried fad diets. If they actually worked over the long haul, we would all be thin and wouldn't need this thread.

It is difficult and frustrating to just keep putting one foot in front of the other but even if we move 2 steps forward and one step back- we are still moving forward.

I am not discounting your feelings and can't tell you not to feel as you do today but we all know in our hearts that focusing on the numbers, instead of our health and forward movement is a set-up for all of us with eating disorders to somehow let ourselves fail.

You inspire me daily to keep my eye on my own prize and to keep that forward momentum going-regardless of how anyone else does.

I did not lose any weight yesterday but am happy because neither did I gain. I try to measure my success in tiny, little baby steps and just keep on, keeping on.

Hugs,
