Replies to '01/06 No More Excuses With Star Jones'

Please know you are not alone, there are a lot of us out there in the same position as you, I had to turn the show off today in the middle because I was so angry that Star is so pleased with herself, her money goes a long way to making her improvements.  I've been on diets for yearssssss and gained and lost the same hundred pounds with interest every time.  If Star had more strength than I do or the rest of us do, she would not have needed her stomach stapled in order to get thin. 

I think we should appauld ourselves for doing as well as we do with what we have to work with.   

I'm fat, no rich or famous, and so no one knows I'm unhappy and reading her book or hearing her preach is not helpful. 

Just want you to know you're not alone. 

Please take care of yourself,  

A stranger who cares. 

I know where you are right now, I have been there and to some degree still am myself.  I won't detract from your story to tell mine, I just would like you to know you are not alone.  It is not very hard to make excuses when you feel like no one cares, remember there is more strength and hope when you learn you can help yourself (The reward is much greater) and don't depend on others to help, just be grateful when they can and do.  Please find a group online who can give you some support. I did and it is helpful, especially during the stages when I cannot bring myself to go out in public.  My group would not be one for your case, otherwise I would give you the name to mine.  I am so sorry to hear about your husband and wish you much courage to step forward positively with your life, because heaven knows you need it.  Take good care of yourself no matter how hard it is to do.
