Hi Everyone,
So I am new to this site but not new to this process. I did my first seminar in January 2010 and that was the end of that. Then on April 5, 2011 I went again and this time stuck with it. I decided in early February that I want my life back, I don't want to feel like I can't do things because I might not fit, or the seat-belt wont fasten. I also decided I am SICK and TIRED of only shopping at plus size stores. I want to look at something and be able to purchase it. I have a son and I want to be the mom that hops right onto the roller coaster the he and I love but I don't do because I might not fit. I do not want to be the person that the young teenager asks to get off because they cant fasten my belt....
I have fought my weight most of my life. From an early age I saw my mom working out and dieting, and I too fell right into line with her. I was able to maintain pretty well until my early 20's. Once I got out on my own things went down hill quick. I discovered eating out and that was not really an option when I was living at home. I probably honestly gained about 100 lbs in about a year and a half. Went through a breakup and ate myself to where I am now. I knew when I gained 40lbs at one point I needed to get control but I could not make it happen.
I have in the last 10 years been able to maintain where I am at, (not where I want to be) I don't gain more, but I also don't lose any either.
Since I started this in April I started at my highest 320 and I am now about 302. After meeting the the dietitian I have changed some things and just by doing the small changes I have managed to lost that.
Don't get me wrong I am scared sh*t*ess about this but I also know that it's got to be done. I obviously not going to be able to do this on my own (or I would have a LONG time ago) and need this helpful tool to get me rolling.
I have been watching this site for a while and use the posts to keep me going (good and bad)... so I thank you all for that.
