This isn't my official weight for the week, but I'm putting it down anyway. I've just finished a 12 day course of prednisone for my back. I'm very sensitive to it and as a result the swelling is quite severe (the 13lbs is after using a prescription diuretic).
I'm hoping that by putting this here, I can maybe help someone else who may be in a similar situation. There was a time when a gain like this would have me hating/punishing myself. I would either severely restrict food or binge/purge in an attempt to get back to "normal". At the time I couldn't see that I was hurting myself.
By adhering to the principles of SB, and with the support of people like Judy, I have been able to create a better relationship with food. I was able to lose 100lbs and maintain that loss over the past 4 yrs. I've not been perfect, there have been times that I have used food as a means of punishing myself for what I perceive as short comings. Even so, I have stuck with my WOE and see/feel the rewards of it everyday.
If you are struggling, know that you aren't alone. We have all been there at some point. Don't beat yourself up over something you have no control over. You control your life, life doesn't control you.
