Good for you, Todd. That's the way, I'm sure.
I'm in Overeaters Anonymous, to help my food issues, and it helps my social issues too. I also have an issue with my appearance and self-image, and I think I'm fat even when I'm not. I'm about 5'9" or 5'10", and about 175 pounds, which is very reasonable for a guy, expecially at 60 years. Anyway I passed by the big mirror in the pool change room one time, and saw myself, and said 'Oh my gawd, Ron, you've got to do something about yourself'. Then I realized how dumb that was; I'm just fine; and started to laugh a little at myself. The next day I was going for a 50km (30mile) training run with my running partner, and told her the story, and she laughed and said 'and what did you plan to do, Ron? Get some more exercise?' I guess I'll always have it with me, but being easy on myself, and laughing at myself a little, and the fellowship of the other OA people makes the food issues manageable nowadays.
