Hello I'm Lori,
I've been a member on this board since Jan. 2006 ...and at first was doing really well............but then...I slip and slid and just figured what is the use.......
so I'm back here again........and really need to be on here........it does help listening and reading all of the posts.......and does encourage me.
So how can I get off this vicious cycle??
I've been overweight what seems like all of my life.............I'm sure as a baby I was small and cute and tiny.......when my parents let me feed myself and make choices ......I became chubby cute little girl......then ...a chubby older girl/teen/young adult/......and now just plain FAT woman!
Thoughout the years I seem to have tried every diet on the market from ...atkins (back in the olden years
/to accupuncture/to starving myself and excercising at the same time......
in which at that process I lost 60 pounds and looked ok......not skinny but much better......
began eating again.....and got pregnant.....and gained...about 90 pounds ...
lost some baby fat.....not much...
and have kept being very overweight ever since....
I'm now 48 years old and still 100 pounds overweight...........and I'm not only fat......but the results from being overweight all my known life..........getting sick and tired all the time.
ok that's my story............btw.....I'm married and have 2 children and am a grandma.........my children are grown up.......youngest dd is 15 and we homeschool her.
Now all that being said.............................................. ........
I really would like to lose weight.......not for the fact anymore of being Skinny......cuz that ain't gonna happen...........but for health reasons.....and just wanting to over all feel better physically and feel better about myself.
So ..........that's me in a nut shell! LOL
and I need a friend .
Lori
