Hi Everybody,
Forgive me if I am doing this wrong. Ususally I am very good on the computer but find it confusing here for some reason. Years ago, I was familar with the Richard Simmons news groups, which was bulleton boards simular but not. So this is new to me, I loved those boards but after awhile they became a very negative place to be. I don't need negavtive support. So I dropped the list and have been in search for something like this for a very long time. Here I am! Everyone seems so nice. I thank those of you who have given me a warm welcome and have said hi to me.
So here we are today. I thought that I would post my goals for today.
# 1 Drink 64 oz. of water.
# 2 Work out for 20+ minutes
# 3 Eat well. Live well!
Just so you know a little bit about my current situation. Readers Digest Version! I have been with my husband for 8 years in August. We both had great jobs, were buying a house. Both had fairly nice cars, I had enrolled in school to become a decorator, as I have a passion for it. Life was good except my weight.
I was given the oppurtunity to move to Truckee, California to work for a couple and in one year my husband and I would own the company and move back home to Spokane with it. It was hard, I had never left home before. We sold our house, quite our jobs, sold our cars to get a Ford Expedetion because in Truckee, you are in the Sierra Mountains and it snows allot, and there are tons of hills.
Here we went to chase our dream. In January, I startet out with a bang, I worked out every day, did my thing, got into my groove, was actually losing weight. I don't know how to put this to where you won't be bored but will understand... :)
The couple that we worked for were not nice people and we soon caught them in more lies and time went on. I was running the company due to their health problems etc. Every week, I asked them for a contract stating when, how much, we would buy the company for. There never followed through.
One in Feb. I told them how I felt, about the lies and said that I felt I was being lied to or brushed off. We had been down there for six months and I needed a contract. Everything was fine. See ya tomorrow, I will have an answer to all of your questions.
Two hours later, I recieved a phone call and she said, we have made a decision and your fired. I was dumbfounded, my dream crushed in a matter of minutes. Every dime we made on our house we spent to move. Our Mortage payment in Spokane was 554.00 a mos. Rent there was 1500.00 a mos. We were busted flat in Truckee. We had a lease until August.
Needless to say, we had to borrow money for a Uhaul, I packed up the house in 4 days, talked to the landlord, he was thankfully understanding. We now live with my Mom in her small house. My husband just got a job and I am currently looking but feel discouraged because of my weight.
I am not depressed about it anymore but I will tell you I damn near ate everything in site from Feb. until now. So, here comes summer and little miss mistie is still in a size 32 and well over 300 pounds. Its time to make something good come of this. Stop waisting time and lose the weight.
I lost over 100 pounds when I was 18 and I gained it all back. For some reason I have tried several times and have always failed. Not this time.
Thanks for reading my story and learning about my situation. I don't want any pity, just some good solid friends who we can support eachother in this weight loss battle. I hope to meet people, learn new things, hear new ideas, I love success stories. I was reading posts lastnight and came across mthergoose? She was my size or short of it and has lost all that weight, she really inspired me. I love that feeling.
I will see you all around and look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you.
Until then,
Mistie
