Combating the Toil and Drudgery of the Weight Game

Weight is a topic we all hate and love to discuss. Well, maybe "love" isn’t quite the right word. We need to discuss it, and so we do. We share the frustrations of medication weight gain and the strategies for circumventing it. We share the loss of motivation for healthy eating and exercise when we're depressed. We share the day-to-day toil and drudgery of dieting. Jane, a community member, poignantly shared these thoughts of toil and drudgery in a recent forum discussion. Alison, a fellow forum member, posted perceptive comments in response to passages of Jane's post. We can each garner some wisdom from Alison for our own dieting and weight-induced angst. Found here are her thoughts for combating the toil and drudgery of the weight game.
