thank you all for your support and advice after my last post. my 
dieting history consists of a whole lot of goal-setting and promise-
making. sometime after each of the initial commitments, i have 
messed up. sometimes a diet has started and ended within a single 
afternoon. i get furious with myself. i've gone on most of my 
diets without telling anyone, because i'm afraid of people seeing me 
fail. when i have told people that i was trying to lose weight, and 
i've fallen off the diet, i've tried to cover it up. as i look back, 
that system does very little for me besides make me feel bad about 
myself. no matter what i say to myself or my friends, the scale and 
the waistband will speak for themselves at the end of the day. 
thank you for helping me realize that.
