I've been 130 lbs, and I've been 207 lbs, my weight has always fluctuated. I grew up being the "fat kid", I admit I have some pretty bad habits that I need to break. I have a bad relationship with food. I emotionally eat.
Sometimes I've lost weight on purpose, other times just inn-attentional life style changes have lead to a drop in weight. Right now, I'm probably about 200 lbs..as disappointed as I am to admit it. I'm really uncomfortable in my body, in my clothes. I purposely don't look at my body in the mirror. Just last year I was 150 lbs a size 7 (I was break-up thin) and now I'm a size 16..My size is making me a social recluse, I dread going on vacation, I hate going shopping, I'm embarrassed to see people, and lately, I've been noticing negative public attention which is cruel and humiliating.
I'm on day 2, of making small life style changes towards my goal because I'm sick of yo-yo-ing and I want this to be permanent. I've been calorie counting and I'm going to jump on the elliptical tomorrow to get going on my exercise goals. My goal isn't exactly size or weight based because I feel I'll get discouraged if I don't get there quickly. So I'm focusing on getting healthy. I'm ready to enjoy life again
