For those of you who participated last time, it might be useful to consider this a chance to update us. I want to be thinner. I don't think I will ever satisfy this want. Not to say I will never lose weight; I have gained & also lost weight before, separately and together. I view my life as an eternal process of becoming more fit. So I would like to think I am progressing towards this want, although lately :) I think I have been making negative progress. In order to cope with this want I have to remind myself often to take things easy on myself and that no one's perfect - it's no fun to beat yourself up after a meal or a day of indulgence! It can lead to negative mental habits. I think that this "want" is probably a driving want I will have in me my entire life. It seems somewhat innate. I think we can attribute this to society, and a few other notable factors. It's okay though. Without this "want" I might become an overindulging monster of 300+lb. Who knows? I don't!
