In the Year Two Thousand and FINE - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

WVU Jenn · 01-02-2009, 03:26 PM

Hello everyone....Im new to forums in general, and now Im new here.....Im at my biggest weight to date, Im miserable, I have adult onset asthma, recently quit smoking, whilst I love vegetables I also crave sweets fried foods and cheese!!!!!!! I cannot take it anymore, I keep seeing old pictures of me and how I used to look, and I recently saw a video of myself singing back up for my husbands band and I cried for days.....
I need help.....I need daily support, I need cheap ways to eat right and be healthy b/c I dont make that much money, I need will power b/c my husband is a meat and potatoes eater and eats about 4 portions at each meal....Im embarassed to go outside, I refuse to buy clothes at this weight so I only have about 5 outfits that I wear and Im so fed up with it.
today I had an old girlfriend offer to walk with me, at my pace in the evenings, and I am looking in the ad bulletin for a cheap treadmill....and I joined here.....Im 31 years old, and Im ready to be the bubbly happy girl i used to be!

You might want to check out the 30-somethings forum, for those in that age range, as well as any of our groups by eating plan, or some of the miscellaneous groups and challenges.

Wherever you settle, jump in and keep posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!

welcome and good luck! I quit smoking earlier this fall, and I know, it's not easy. But if you have it in you to be able to adjust yourself to your new smoke free lifestyle, then trust yourself that you can certainly adjust to the weight loss lifestyle too! And don't worry, you don't have to give up cheese! I eat it all the time.
