Hello world!

Hello everyone!

I’m new here.  My journey to life started as a chubby child.  My parents didn’t know how to relate to me without food.  When my sister discovered drugs, my family surrounded her with support.  I got the token daily candy bar to show how much they loved me.  I never learned good eating habits.  About 2 years ago, my DH and I decided it was time to lose weight.  We were both 250.  Now he is 175 and I’m stuck at 210.  We have a very healthy strong 9 year old daughter who is involved in swimming and Tae Kwon Do.  She is tall and thin- with a fat mommy.  I want her to learn to eat healthy and to continue to be active.

I’m sick of being a fat mommy and I need extra support to get back on the plan and lose 60 more pounds.  I feel fat and ugly most of the time and that really brings me down.  It’s the part of my life that I hate the most and it follows me around day and night.

Like many of you, I have a portion control problem.  Like tonight- we ate at Bob Evans.  I had a side salad and a dinner sized pasta dish.  I could have had the lunch size but no- I ordered the dinner size.  I didn’t eat it all but was miserable when we left.  I could have vomited on demand!  Why do I do that to myself?

I had to work from home most of the past week and therefore fell out of the routine I was trying to set.  I want to jog a 5k on Mondays and Fridays.  Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I want to do my TransFirmer DVDs.  Wednesdays I swim 2000 yards.    Even though I will be off work most of next week due to Thanksgiving I can still keep this plan.  I even have my bag packed for a workout tomorrow.  Wish me luck!

I will be posting daily- if not multiple times a day.  Keep up with me cuz I’m ready to head to the goal line!
