Hi everyone,
I've been a lurker here, checking in now and again to read, for a few months now I guess. I've gained about 20 pounds since I joined. I have given myself every excuse in the book as to why I am not losing weight, and just keep stuffing the food in. I AM under a lot of stress due to Hurricane Katrina issues, but that only accounts for the last three months, not the last 20 years!!
I got on the scale a few days ago, and was totally shocked to see 297!! OMG... I cannot explain, but I'm sure you all know anyway, how horrible I felt, and still do.
I don't know where to start or what to do. I have never really dieted successfully, and have done even less exercise.
I think I have cried more tears in the past week... but I have decided that even if I don't know HOW I'm going to do it, I still WILL do it.
Meanwhile, I am still totally bummed, though... I feel terribly ugly and gross.
Thanks for listening, and if anyone's interested in a buddy, message me.
