Hello all.
I have been a member here for a while, but have neglected it for so long I may as well be a newbie again (Eeek). Most of my buddies deleted me because I never posted and my diet blog even got deleted... ha. So, to get into the true spirit, I'm introducing myself again. I'm currently at 222, which is about 17 pounds heavier than I was last year when I was still an active participant on 3FatChicks. My goal is 150 – which is what I weighed in high school. Most of my weight planted itself on my hips during college – after they banned ephedra. I took it non-stop for a year or two, and when it went away – so did my metabolism. After that point the boxed wine made its presence know and I’ve been on a downward spiral since. I was up to 230, and got down to just under 200 for my wedding in 2007, and am now back up to 222. I eat when I’m stressed, so I’m definitely an emotional eater which is sucky – since I’m stressed a lot.
We’re creeping up on summer which is a very hard time for me to stay focused. We live in Maine, vacation land, so everyone wants to come visit us in July and August. Every weekend in July is “booked” with people staying at our place from out of town. Of course, all of our guests want to take us out to eat because we let them stay at our place. Eating out so much isn’t good for a calorie – counter – especially at little local places that don’t disclose nutritional info online or on the menu.
So… I need to stay strong. Finding a group of people that will hold me accountable for my decisions would be fantastic! Thanks for reading, I look forward to talking with everyone.
Newbie... kind of
