Less than 100 pounds left to go....not getting any easier.
Hello,
I have beeen lurking on this board for about two weeks, and I have finally decided what the heck, the worse thing that could happen would be that you make a few new friends. So, here it goes. I am a 29 years young, and I have been married for almost 13 years. Yup, got married at 17! I love my husband dearly, but sometimes I would love to trade him in on a new model !! I have always had a problem with my weight pretty much my whole life, but I hit rock bottom when I lost my mother and brother. I had pretty much given up, and food was the root of my all evils. I maxed out at 402 lbs! I realized then that my mother would have been so heartbroken seeing her little girl do this to herself, and the last thing that I ever wanted to do would be to break my mothers heart. Everything in my life had changed in that one moment. I realized that no matter how dreadful my life seemed, that I was worth more than what I was allowing myself to have. The best advice my mother had ever given me was, " No matter how bad your day or your life is right now, just keep smiling because someone elses is worse, and your smile could change their life! " I now live by that advice. I now weigh 240 lbs. I made a huge lifestyle change. I still eat junk on occasions, but I have one serving not three or four, and I count each calorie that goes into my mouth. I would rather count calories than count how many pounds I have went up. I also workout everyday. Even when I do not feel like I still squeeze in atleast 30 minutes of cardio.
I am just so frusturated when it comes down to this last 60 pounds. It seems like it is never gonna happen. I have pretty much lost the weight with only the support of a couple of angels I call my mom and my brother. My husband is great, but to be honest he would rather have me bigger. So, I guess you can see I need a little encouragement from someone who knows what it is like to struggle.
Thank You,
Debbie
