			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>Rant warning! </strong> Feel free to skip ahead&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-194"></span></p>
<p>Right now I am going through a serious amount of self-loathing.  I am so fat!  I have nearly half my body weight to lose to be healthy again.  Seriously!  I am the fatest I&#8217;ve ever been!  Well, that&#8217;s not entirely true.  I was 15lbs heavier 2 months ago when I started Weightwatchers.  But still, other than that, I have finally morphed into the fat, unhealthy pig I thought I was my whole life.  I have literally created my worst fear!</p>
<p>I was doing so well on Weightwatchers, but fell off the track in honor of my birthday in August and my brother&#8217;s wedding last weekend.  Just 2 days&#8230;yet I&#8217;ve blown nearly a whole month when I could have been loosing weight and not gaining any more.</p>
<p>I hate hating myself like this!  But I can&#8217;t stop.  It feels like it&#8217;s overwhelming and drowning me&#8230;and I can&#8217;t get control of it.</p>
<p>When I see pictures of myself, I go through denial &#8220;THAT is not me&#8221; then recognition and disgust &#8220;YUK!  That IS me!  Yuk!&#8221; then I sink down into a spiralling black pit of dispair.</p>
<p>I even changed my profile picture on Facebook to a non-Natalie picture.  I&#8217;m also seriously considering removing all my albums from Facebook and removing my name from photo&#8217;s I have been tagged on.  I just want to erase all evidence of my miserable hideous self.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t you just love the stinking universe sometimes&#8230;?  I just found out today that if I attend just 10 Weightwatchers meetings in a 3 month period, my fees will be 100% reimbursed via my benefits program.  This fits in quite nicely with my other goal I&#8217;m working towards too &#8211; financial control and then freedom.</p>
<p>Damn, damn, damn&#8230;</p>
<p>Really, I&#8217;d be a fool to continue to entertain this self-hatred which is paralysing me and causing me to eat out of control and be a lazy, lolling couch potato&#8230;</p>
<p>I hope to god(ess) this is just temporary&#8230;otherwise I am in serious trouble.  I sometimes feel that one day I will just explode with fatness&#8230;that my body will no longer be able to contain all this fat and I will just explode and die.  Lovely.</p>
