Reading new book
So I've been reading this book. Not too unusual, I think everybody reads weight loss books from time to time. But I am a reader, so I have more than a couple. I get most from WW, but I have other books. Like Weigh Down Diet, or Dr. Phil's book, or one of Oprah's (that was awhile ago). I have one called "when you eat at the refrigerator, pull up a chair" by geneen roth. GREAT book. I read a fiction book about a girl who's ex boyfriend published articles about her being fat (and more). Great book (can't remember the title...oh, wait, it's Good in Bed-Jennifer Weiner), but I was crying pretty hard by the end of it and my husband was very concerned. Told me it was a bad book and I should stop reading it! It was very cute of him.
Whew I'm rambling today. Anyway, so I'm into a new one, Tales from the Scale, by Erin Shea. Haven't finished it, but pretty good so far. But depressing! WOW! But I identified with some of it. One article talked about stuffing tortilla chips in your mouth, too many at once, when you feel frustrated in general. Damn! Who let that girl in my kitchen!
But other stuff I don't get. Pretty much all of them seemed to have parental issues growing up with weight. Restricting food, putting them on strict diets and getting punished with exercise. Rough. I didn't have that...my mother dieted a lot, but I just don't remember it affecting me. I don't really remember having bad eating habits until high school when I would eat a lot after school...and then again for dinner. And yes, my mother took me to the doctor for a 1200 calorie diet. Worked for awhile, but it wasn't like she didn't love me anymore when I gained it back. I think she understood. As I got older I did resent her hints as I got bigger....but I know as my mother she couldn't just sit there and watch me explode. She loved me too much for that. And after everything, it was her that finally got me to go to WW with her. I was convinced it wouldn't work anyway. LOL. One hundred pounds later, guess it does.
