Ill come back here (try to everyday) and see whats up with you and we can be each others motivaters
i know its tough that why I wanted to do this thread so we can make it together! : ) And like I always say to the women who have given birth. At least you have a reason for gaining your weight. I have just chosen to be overweight my whole life. lol but we can do it. lets update each day.

thats exactly how im feeling so let both hang in there.

I was actually comfortable with how my clothes were fitting in onederland, and that's when I really started to feel healthier. I want that back.

Im afraid of that happening to me to. I have been feeling that way to. I am down in my size by alot. I was wearing size 17's and overflowing out of them and probly should have been wearing 20-22 pants. Now im in a size 15 with a good fit a bit tight but not to tight still comfortable. and im starting to think ooh look at that sexy thing in the mirror lol. but i dont want to get to comfy. lol i want to keep losing. and i have made that choice to stop and then gain it all back before so not again. it works for me to literally outloud tell myself not again when i start getting those thoughts.
oh ya and the main point is your BACk your NOT giving up!

Ugh.
ugh. yup i hear ya. lets keep chugging we can do it!

lol i know what you mean. i couldnt remember being smaller than 220 in years at least 6-7yrs so the 220's were a brick wall for about 6-7weeks but i dont want 200's to be that way to. So im fighting this one. although its been 4 weeks lol.

In April of 2010 I had my 2nd daughter, reaching up to 265lbs. When I went for my 6 week check up (sometime in June) I was in my 230's or 220's. I'm not quite sure. But I was quite fluffy. And I had started a new job after being at home on bed rest for about 4 months. Which probably contributed to my weight loss (receptionist, but wasn't at home stuffing my face).

At the end of June, my husband left me with two young children (newborn and 3 yrs old at the time). And that completely stressed me out. I was depressed. I did the opposite of emotional eating, and stopped eating because I completely lost my appetite.

So by September, I was a single mom working full-time and enrolled in school full-time. And even though I was very busy, I was coping with my ex- husband's absence. Before I knew it, I had dropped the weight, unintentionally. I weighed in probably around 170lbs. Even though it was lost in the wrong way, it somewhat boost my confidence. And I felt as though it was a start to further weight loss.

So in October... I lost my job and was at home most of the time. I was depressed and started the emotional eating.

By December of 2010... I had ballooned up to 215lbs

Then it slowly started to creep up on me even further in May 2011.. I was between 220-225lbs.

Until I reached the highest weight I've ever been in my life (of course not pregnant though) 232lbs!!!

I have always struggled with my weight and have always been heavy. the lowest I have ever been was 150-160lbs in my adulthood (from 2004-2005). But due to emotional eating from a bad situation, I would always gain the weight. Then other times, a bad situation would come and I wouldn't have the appetite to eat, and would lose the weight. So its has always been a up and down cycle.

This year.. I am in a better place. I am more stable emotionally and learning to love myself and not being dependent upon another person to make me happy. Right now, I don't like the way I look because of the weight, but I love the person that I am. AND I know that in 2012, its gonna be different. i will get it off and keep it off.
yes it will lovely! you can do it! We all can.
Coming from a child of a single mother. My mother always said she couldnt imagine life without us 3 kids and for how hard it was it was always worth it. I think the biggest saint in this world is a single mother. Your amazing lovely!

This looks fantastic. I love the Onederland threads, but it always makes me feel awkward when I'm the youngest person there. It's great seeing on here in the 20s thread.
Reading through all the posts is great and seeing how we're around similar levels makes it even better congrats ladies!
I'm on my way to. Although I've got 23 lbs to Onederland, a bit more than a few of you
