~Newbie~ Need to be inspired and need a buddy!
I am on my way back on a diet, I did pretty good on South Beach Diet, hit a few snags and went on and off for 8 months, gaining a toal of one size back. 15lbs I think? Is that a size? It must be because my middle button to my coat is tight and I can not seem to sit down.
I know this is a major self esteem problem for me, and I am very harsh on myself. You know the type that has to look in the mirror 3 times before heading out making sure my butt did not expand.
I was a very healthy weight my whole life, hit a few bumps in life and the pounds came on. I am so ready to get to my goal weight, and try not to let anything emotional set me off. I do not understand it, but at some point it seemed that eating was my only pleasure in life.
I was on medication before which made the situation worse, went off and the weight slowly came off, not really dieting, but I started SBD about a year ago got down to a 16 /18 and now a 20 again wearing 1x shirts.
Not sure how much I weigh but I do not like "NOT" having confidence. I love my face but hate my body. I am seriously babbling now...
I started 3 days ago (back on the wagon after 8 months of yo-yo ing)! and I am using meal replacements.
My diet is basiclly counting calories. I eat oatmeal for a snack, not steel cut oats but the old fashion by Quaker.
I am trying to stay in between 1200-1400 a day and exercise 300 calories from that. I am using a machine that tells me how many minutes= how many calories burned.
Even though I eat one meal a day, I try to limit pasta, but eat mostly brown rice as my startch.
I am really looking for a buddy to chat with, online and offline and one that is willing to explore a varity of diets with me, slimfast or any type of meal replacment bar, SBD etc.
Thank you
