Funny but this reminds me of when a Sears repairman came to our house to fix the treadmill. He almost did not fix it under warranty because we was asking me how much I weighted. I told him 245 pounds (but it really was about 255). He said ok and he let me know the limit of this treadmill was 250 pounds!

That started one of my yo-yo diets but it was embarrassing to be questioned if I was too heavy for a treadmill.

Thank you so much for this story. There are so many different times that I should have stopped. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize those times that I had this medical problem that makes it extra difficult. I just thought I couldn’t do it…sometimes it’s more than just motivation…

Great post, Diane.

I have never broke a chair. But many times I have sit in a chair and it have started to make noise. That’s a thing that I find annoying, and that’s something that makes me feel very embarassed.

These last Saturdays I have been playing in a chess tournament. All was silent, and every time I was sitting the chair started to make noise. I didn’t knew where to look, because all the people could heard my noise and they could heard that when other girls were sitting, there were no noise. I’m now near 195 pounds, and it’s more than the other girls. I think that any of them would we 150.

I have not broken any chair, but I’m still embarased with chairs.

Oh Diane! I can relate to this post. I have broken a couple of chairs. One was at a sushi bar in southern california with my family and I felt so much shame. Thankfully, this has not happened in several years. I will never forget that awful feeling. I love the exercise you suggested and am going to do some journal writing. I hope you and your family are having a wonderful weekend.

Another great blog – and you’re right that physical weight is very rarely about the actual weight, but about what *caused* it, and the emotional issues behind it.

Even bored and stress eating are still emotional issues being dealt with in inappropriate ways, and we should not forget that as we progress along our life journeys. When something isn’t right deep down, it WILL manifest itself outwardly. Maybe in weight, maybe in something else, but dealing with contentedness and heart issues is so key to permanent life change, and something I think is often forgotten in most of the current weight loss programs and diets.

I so agree, I think our weight is so connected to our emotional and spiritual being. And I think we have to deal with our emotions as we are dealing with our weight. Thanks for sharing this story.

Have a great weekend!

Oh, darn, I keep meaning to say again how I love your tips.. all of them! BUT, I LOVE “say no if you want”! People are afraid to do that but I have done it all along! I was at a family gathering last night & the only healthy thing there was the white meat turkey. There was not another thing I really wanted enough to eat. I ate the turkey & I had brought a couple other small things for myself cause I thought this might happen. People are fine with me doing this I guess cause they are used to me BUT I just don’t eat it because it is there. I help out & thank them for their efforts & I may take a bite of something that interests me but the holiday season is long & I can’t eat every time I am faced with it. I would be 7 pounds heavier come January if I did that!

Diane, thank you so much for sharing!!! I have never been that big but I do understand the emotional issues that go with any addiction & food is a big one for emotional eating! IT is so important to address because it will come back & bite you at any moment & you have to learn how to deal with these emotions so you don’t end up gaining the weight back. And you have mastered that!

Once again Diane, a post that really speaks to people out there & I know it has happened to them too. You will help them face it!

Hi, Diane! Love this post. Thanks for sharing with us. I’ve been stuck in a chair or two myself and must agree, that’s not what made me get busy losing. I don’t really know what happened this time to make me see the light, but I think reading posts like this keeps me motivated.

Thank you for always being so positive and supportive to all of us in blogland!
