I could write a book. But I'm not going to. It's been a rough couple of years. Lots of moving. New baby in February last year. A few months after that my personal life pretty much imploded when I found out some really bad things and now I'm going thru a divorce. Married for almost 10 years, together for over 17. It's been hard.

Lots of stresses the last couple years, lots of emotional eating, lots of weight gain.

It's been almost 8 months since everything fell apart, including me, and I'm finally back into a semi decent place. Lots of acceptance and eye opening things and I'm ready to be happy again. First step is a healthy body, so it's back to 3FC for accountability and motivation! Wish I never would have left. Maybe I wouldn't have gained 90ish lbs back over the last few years.

Kim...You have been through some major heartbreaks. I hope you are finally finding some peace, if not understanding--'cause some things just have no explanation. You've no doubt learned through all this that there are no constants in life. Partners change and leave, babies grow up and away, and loved ones move on...the only person you can control and rely on is yourself...and sometimes you can't even count on that! We're here to help you be happy with the present and celebrate your progress...You Go Girl!

(...how I miss those sweet baby cheeks...)


...ugh...only 4 days 'til my next posting and I'm struggling to hang on to the loss....

Thanks SeeMyFeet. I still have my bad days but I'm doing much better emotional, which is making it easier to heal. I'm definitely glad the holidays are over. Those were hard!

I had a completely silly jump up 2.6lbs this morning from yesterday. I know I'm holding water because of TOM but it still sucks seeing a bigger number on the scale when I've been doing everything right. Just hoping I don't snack myself into more weight over the next few days so I can come out of it happy instead of mad at myself. =)

[love2b150]

Kim ditto what SeeMyFeet said Kim like your avatar says, BELIEVE that you CAN so you WILL! No snacks and No getting mad at yourself

Volatis, nice weigh in for the week

kuchick, long time ... good to see some old friends here Nice weigh in. You're off to a good start

imthegoodess, great sense of humor

[kuchick]

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Love2b150 nice to see some familiar faces I think my initial loss is just me stepping away from the cookies - never again will I volunteer to make the Christmas cookies for my mom. Just hoping to keep it up but know most right now is just water weight.

Thank you, I try. It fits right in with my love of Halloween, the best holiday ever!:ba dbat:

[love2b150]

kuchick, my initial loss also was stepping away from the cookies, cake, cupcakes, chips, salty popcorn ... I was eating everything that wasn't good for a person with diabetes, smh. But we are back Water weight looks good when it comes off (I think) the bloating. I think I have an issue with gluten but some gluten free things just taste yucky so I eat it any way and watch myself swell

imthegoddess, not the best holiday for me. I eat so much candy corn it's not funny, smh. I love that stuff and it's cheap unlike chocolate

[kuchick]

love2b150 that's my problem - my son seems to have gluten issues so I've been making up cookie recipes that are gluten-free & collecting existing gluten-free recipes so that he doesn't miss out on the holiday desserts, and then I ate them too They were pretty good though!

I'm still dropping water weight but caved and had a snack last night when I darn well knew I wasn't even hungry - I hate that! I'm going to start brushing my teeth at 8:00.
