Hello Everyone ~ I am new to the community!
Hi ~ My name is Tina and I am 32 years old and I have struggled with my weight loss since having my first child 9 years ago. I was always skinny as a child and in high school I weighed around 110 lbs. which I stayed that up until I got pregnant for the first time with my daughter who is now 9. After having her I got some of the weight off but was never happy with what weight I was. Then I got pregnant with my son who is now 5 and that was when my journey with weight loss wins and losses really started. I have done and tried just about anything you can imagine to lose weight. I did really good my first time on Weight Watchers but after about my 5th time.....I knew how to cheat that system. I am just not good with someone saying.....it's ok to eat some chips just a few and as long as you count the points. It was too hard for me to cheat! I have done low carb more protein and it worked for awhile. Then in Easter of 2006 I saw a picture of myself and I about died. I hated it and I hated the way I looked. A friend of mine started seeing a weight loss doctor and nutrionist and really liked it so I signed up and started going to see her. I was ready for a change! When I started seeing her I changed my eating habits and did awesome. Then I started taking Phentermine because I was having a hard time not being hungry. I really started to lose weight! I went from 195 lbs down to about 169lbs by the end of that summer in 2006. I was working out, walking, eating right. I felt great! I was motivated! Then some stuff happened in my life that lead to me being under a lot of stress and all of that hard work went out the window. I am still seeing my weight loss doctor and after 2 years I should be some skinny chick on the beach in a bikini but no....I am still the beached whale. My weight loss doctor is at this point where if I don't start losing....she says there is no point in me seeing her. I get started and do good and I am taking my phentermine and then I miss one or two pills and boom......downward spiral. I make more excuses than any person I know! I overeat and according to a psycologist I am a compolsive eater.
Ok so that is my whole weight loss story! I am ready to start and stick with it this time and I think a community like this is just what I need for support and to stay motivated!!!!!!
