Hello again
Well, I am back after a long self pity filled absence and at the highest weight I have ever been. 4 pounds away from 300.
I have been lurking around the boards on and off during my absence. I just read mandalinn82's story. Wow! Dont' get me wrong, everyone's success stories are always motivating, but this one really struck a chord with me. I think because in Amanda's before pictures, we have the same body type. It gives me hope that one day this belly can dissapear!
My sister (bless her heart) said to me today..."What is the point of starting a diet this time of year". I guess she has a point??? But I am thinking more long term. I just can't stand the thought of another summer in this body I have right now. All the fun I miss out on because I hide and refuse to do the things I used to love because I am ashamed and self consious of myself.
Besides, I replied to my sister with "You have to start sometime, why not now?"
I turn 33 at the end of August. I would be thrilled to be down 50lbs. My doctor says that it is a sensible goal.
I know with all of your support I can do it. So please have me back
I promise this time I will not run and hide when things get tough.
to you all!
