When You Have a Thin Identical Twin

When you have a thin identical twin And you are the heavy one, on your way to the largest weight number of your life, it makes you want to eat. I am an emotional eater; thus I stay away from my twin Who has my face, and my mannerisms but is fifty pounds heavier. I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. I lost sixty-four pounds once and kept them off For two or three years. Then one day I knew I wanted my chocolate. And my sugar, and my peanut butter. That was sixty-seven pounds ago. I was exercising like mad during my two year healthy regime. Not so much anymore. I sit in a chair now. I ate six tins of cookies over Christmas break. My dogs love me fat and sassy. I sit and think about food. I am the mashed potato queen. I dare not tell you how many of these I have eaten lately. I know I am not healthy. But I am not ready to give up My sugar, my potatoes, my beef and noodles, my breads, My emotional eating is at an all-time high. I know what I have to do. I am not there yet.

Hello Caren, When i was growing up I was 100lbs. I was like that until 40's. Then I gained weight. I married late. Gained weight and slowly lost the weight. Hugs.
