You may be on moderation now, post in small frequent replies and stay on this thread until you reach 100 posts (for your thread, you can also post on other peoples threads to give support). Especially on this Newcomers forum, where the posting activity is very active, and your posts can quickly fall to the bottom of the page or even several pages down. Keep journaling and asking questions - people will come! Most important - POST!
Get out and Get a Life (GAL). DETACH.
Believe none of what he or she says and half of what he/she does.
Have NO EXPECTATIONS.
Take care of yourself, breathe, eat, sleep, exercise.
Take the parts of this advice that you need and don't worry if I have repeated something that you have already done.
Here are a few links to threads that will help you immensely:
When someone new shows up here there is no way I know who they are, I must make sure they are not spammers or otherwise harmful to the forum. That is why you are on moderation when you arrive. I them recommend to the administrator that you be removed from moderation. Your posts help me to do that.
I understand. No problem Cadet. As you know I keep the rules!
So I am here to discuss FOO related issues, quietly and privately following a request to do so.
It is quite a delicate and sensitive topic and there are a couple of minor things of my own I need to address.
In particular weight loss, as a child I was so very fragile and underweight as a result of illness. That seems to have had an effect on me. My frame is very slight and any excess weight looks poor.
Sadly my body wants to stay big as a means of not becoming a person only a fool would leave. This is something I want to address.
I am afraid a little bit of this.

Just tell her about your childhood Mu. Why are you so reluctant to forgive yourself?
V- does your body really want to stay big to hide or maybe its your age slowing down your metabolism? I was always thin, could eat anything I wanted and stayed thin until my early 40's, now it seems like every bite I eat goes straight to my waistline. Do you have a similar build as your mother? Did she struggle with weight at your age? Are you eating healthy and getting exercise?
If this is to be a private exchange between Mu and V I am sorry to intervene.
