Hi there! I am kind of new but I've been a silent member for a while...
So, a few years ago I lost around 10lbs (not much but enough to make me look and feel good) I was at 146-148 and feeling great!
During the past two years I stayed between the 148-152 range, and while I wasn't feeling that great anymore I was still doing OK...
January was a hard month, both my daugher and husband were diagnosed with different health problems and YES!, I am an emotional eater. Little by little I can see the scale going up. On February we bought a new house and remodeling came alone with it... fast food was the most handly and convinient way to feed ourselves and working out wasn't part of my schedule anymore... so the scale keep going up and up.. 153, 154, 155, 156!... At 156 I said to myself "this is it! no more"... but we all know how that works... 157 and all of my clothes are so tight I'm only wearing sweats! 158, 159... 160!! So the comments started!
Last Friday I went to my in-laws and of-course the offered me food, when I said "no thank you, I just ate" my father in-law said to me "good, because you are getting fat"!!! I was soo upset and so hurt, how can people be so careless about their comments?? Why does HE care if I am getting fat or not??? Very upsetting
I know for some of you maybe I sound crazy but you can notice as soon as I gain 1lb, because it shows right away! My face gets bigger, my stomach even bigger!!!
Finally a few weeks ago I decided it was time for me to get back on track and eat healthy... So here I am today, at 154.4... counting calories again and making sure I work out more often... I am getting about 1200-1500 a day, the weekend wasn't that great for me, but I am back on track!
Sorry for the long post!! I just felt like writing it all out! I feel better just getting all these non sence out of my chest!!!
Hi to all of you and I'll be posting more often!
