Hi Anita,

Thank you for both of your posts.  I do believe I have unresolved past trauma from my childhood.  I struggled with my weight all my life and was picked on as a kid for it.  My dad who has been my hero many times even said a very mean comment about my weight when I was in grade school.  I am the youngest in the family.  My second oldest brother was particular mean to me growing up.  He regularly ridiculed me for my weight, told me I was the stupid one in the family, along with many other cruel comments.  I for the most part avoid him now, which is pretty easy because we live about 10+ hours apart.

I want to move past my past and heal.  I am not sure how.  I am considering seeking out a new therapist, but it is a bit difficult to do so right now for financial reasons.

Again, thank you for your posts.
