Well as the title says, its time. I am sure we all have hit that time in our lives where we say NO MORE! This is mine.
I have stuggled with my weight since my first son (16 yrs ago) Never really trying to lose anything after I had him, it resulted in more weight just piling on. I would lose a little, gain a lot and continue on that cycle. Enter in my next pregnancy (9 years ago) and my weight ballooned even higher after. I went through a divorce, and then another terrible relationship, yo yo'd again. Actually lost about 30 pounds at one point, eating well, working out etc. Then it all came to a crashing halt and I gained it all back, and fast.
Then I went through a period of 'accepting my body' thinking this is how it was always going to be. I am active enough, still grossly out of shape but I was in 'accepting mode' (ie excuse to eat whatever I wanted)
Now I find myself just recently remarried and my husband eats whatever/whenever without gaining an ounce. I have managed to keep up with his eating habits, but I am gaining (cruel cruel world)
I stepped on the scale last week and thought there must be a mistake...so I tried it again the next day...no mistake. It read 254 pounds. I always said I would never let myself get over 250 pounds and here I am. (I also remembering saying to myself many years ago that I wouldn't let myself get over 200 pounds!!)
The last few months have been pretty stressful, just getting married, work is insanely busy, I find myself not eating all day then just binging at night. I wake up in the morning and my body aches from carrying around so much extra weight. I love hiking and the outdoors but I am out of breath walking up my stairs to my bedroom. I am sinking into a depression because of it, I can feel it.
The time has come to do something!! I know what I need to do, its just the doing part that isn't happening. I eat way too much fast food and snack too much. I need to eat proper balanced meals and start up again with the walking and hiking I used to enjoy so much.
I want to wear cute sweaters and leggings, I want knee high boots that fit, I want to put on a pair of jeans and not have muffin top, I want my snuggle up in my husbands sweaters on chilly days, I want to shop in 'normal' stores and I want to stop feeling ashamed about the way my body looks.
So yah... hi, nice site here, I think I'll stick around for a bit
Its time...must start somewhere..
