USER NAME - arysse SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR USER NAME - long story REAL NAME - AGE - 50 WHERE YOU LIVE - Michigan SIGNIFICANT OTHER - No one, because I'm too self conscious at this weight. KIDS - none PETS - Dobermans and cats. STARTING WEIGHT - 296.8 WHAT PLAN ARE YOU FOLLOWING - My own based on a lower carb and calorie counting combination. FAV. EXERCISE(S) - Biking with my dogs FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Everything I'm not supposed to have. FAV.BOOK(S) - Too many to list. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU - I've struggled with my weight since I was a child. There were times throughout my life I was a little overweight by maybe 20 lbs at the most but kept it fairly consistent for the most part (albeit not without a struggle). A serious illness about 10 years ago changed all that. I was put on high dose steroids for a year which causes weight gain and depression. The illness was ongoing and left me with some devastating after effects. That combined with depression over the last 10 years has caused my weight to spiral out of control. My whole body hurts, my social life has ground to a halt, I have no contact with life-long friends, and all of this is due to morbid obesity and depression. I am here to get my old self back as I do not recognize the one I have become. |

Brennan Manning ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU - I like to laugh. I am scared I am going to fail. I am really good at the initial loss. Not so good at sticking it through.

Friedrich Nietzsche ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU - I have been overweight at different times in my life, since I was around 3 years old. Today, I am the heaviest I have been in my entire life. There have been times that I have been my own worst enemy and it has cost me. Finally making myself address this after almost 60 years has been freeing. On a lighter note, I have finally recognized this being in play at times and work hard to not engage in any self sabotaging My wanting to be healthier is for me alone. My quitting a 35 year nicotine habit 4 years ago was my first life change. This next life change to be even healthier has actually been tougher at times but it also has been interesting, educational and many times, fun. __________________ |
