Hi Pamela,

Ok. You would know your situation better than I
would. Let's just hope we all have a nice slim 2003!

Penny,

Thanks for your comments. Before I married I put on a

some weight and I know that those pounds were related
to the sexual abuse. Since I have married there have
been three big weight gains related to three big
losses. So I think this extra 50 pounds that I have
put on
is related to loss and grief. Five months into my
marriage my dog got run over by a truck - gained
weight.
Our second daughter was born with a rare genetic
defect and lived only 12 days - big weight gain. Then
my 5
year old started kindergarten and she was having a
terrible time being separated from me and feeling that

her little sister and brother were loved more than her

because she was the one being sent away. She acted
out
and was miserable and miserable to be with. It was an

awful time and I again had a 12 pound weight gain in
six weeks.

So I think these last fifty pounds is related to loss
and sadness. Feeling out of control. The extra
weight before that is related to the sex abuse.

Pamela
