Age 50+ - changing-anne ... starting over

Yes that's is what I want to do, and it is so hard.
Starting over this week after months of eating
and eating and gaining.
I read something a book that motivated me, maybe
I can post it tomorrow. Actually, I feel my motivation
"should be" to take care of me... to feel good about me,
to be able to bend over and tie my shoes. Somehow
that has not been enough motivation.

I've started over and over and failed and failed, I wonder
what will make this time any different?

Hey changing-anne,

Do you want to change your relationship with food? Basically, change the way you live as regards to your eating habits? 'Cause that's what will make it different this time! :yes:

Many folks here on 3FC have successfully made this happen, even though it is a struggle. Tell us more about yourself...

Yes! If I'm going to be a success this time, I'm going
to have to change my relationship with food. Thank you
Jay for saying that.

I know it will take time... and sometimes I'm sure I
just plain won't want to do it... *sigh*

My husband and I have 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren.
Married forever to a great guy... kind and supportive.
Lots to be thankful for. Enjoy photography & painting &
watching old movies.

I'm looking forward to being able to bend over and tie
my shoes again, and walk up stairs without feeling like
I will topple over!

What kind of physical activities do you enjoy? Sometimes that can help, although mostly it's the food.

I joined a YMCA when I "got serious" about weight loss. I found many folks there in my situation, namely obese and trying to get healthy--so I didn't feel awkward about it. Do you have a Y around?

That was awhile back, and now I belong to a different gym. But I also go for a walk just about every day. I'm fortunate to live in a climate where I don't face snow and ice, but walking in a mall is good, too, if you can stay away from the foot court. :lol:

I see you've posted about a book you're reading. I'm not familiar with that. I am a calorie counter myself.

changing-Anne Welcome and good luck! I have failed, too many times but just got tired of it all, everything that goes along with being obese, overweight, fat ...whatever you want to call it. You have taken the first step by posting here. I wish you success.
