Good for you. Accepting your body and letting go of the self-hate that surely comes from dieting is very freeing. Keep it up -- you deserve it.

Great post girl! Thanks for your honesty. Its so refreshing to hear that others are giving up the dieting game. I agree with Melissa's comment, if it's a choice between being miserable and being a little heavier but happier, I chose happiness. Its something you just have to keep reminding yourself daily..."I would rather be happy than skinny." It also helps me to think about when I was at my

...there is an excellent little chart in an excellent little book called "It's Not About Food"...which is about peoples' disoedered relationships with food, body image, dieting, and weight in general.

Hi. I came to your site through a comment you made on the fatosphere, and I've just spent a bit of time reading through your posts. Thanks so much for documenting your journey. Like you, I decided to stop restricting what I eat (i.e., dieting) recently - in January 2008, to be precise. I've been a near-constant dieter or "watch what I eat-er" since I was 11. That's 26 years of food obsession. I

"I think I was secretly hoping I would lose weight by not dieting..."I can see this maybe being a tough thing to say.

Thanks for sharing your struggles and your point of view!

Aww your post is brave and cool. The friends I've shown your blog to love it.If this experiment is part of something larger--of making yourself happier, or more in lurv with yourself, or whatever--then that matters more than the weight. :-)
