USERNAME/REAL NAME: farawayshore (sorry too shy for the real name as yet) AGE: 39 BIRTHDAY: 18th May MARITAL STATUS: 7 years and not itchy yet... SPOUSE’S NAME: Darling CHILDREN/AGES: 2 boys aged 7 & 2 HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Beach life.Contemporary art. Reading.Gym nut. PETS: A gorgeous snakey tabby cat called Sol. TOP WEIGHT: About 255lbs CURRENT WEIGHT: 232lbs GOAL WEIGHT: 168ish HEIGHT: 5ft8 EYE COLOR: Brownest brown HAIR COLOR: Naturally auburnish chestnut kind of colour with a few grey bits but currently mainly brown with blonde bits. OCCUPATION: Complicated! Self employed training consultant and mother, mainly. Need to decide what I really want to be when I grow up before the kids start school and struggling with it. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: On the beach, south coast, U.K. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I eat too much when I'm bored, sad, tired etc etc-emotional stuff. I'm a self sabotager-unable to stop spoiling things for myself when they go right. I eat without even thonking about it or realising what I'm doing-like breathing! WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Frankly I'm desperate! Sick & tired of looking like someone I'm not.Feel like I should just be able to step out of this skin and into something that fits a bit better. This is officially my last try. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I'm a survivor. Have just about managed to get a grip on a life which used to be unbearable, doing my best and trying my hardest but unable to get in control of my weight. It's the last big hurdle I have to jump...I think. I should add I don't think thin people are or even look any better than fat ones, but I need to do this to prove to myself that I can. It matters to me much more than I am able to explain. Oh, and I'm not as angst ridden and miserable as that last bit would imply, just trying to be honest about the reason I'm posting here.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? That about sums me up. :) |

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I've gotten to the point where I know I can lose the weight (I've lost about 60-65 pounds so far, kept most off for 2 years!), and I've just finally gotten sick of always saying, "I want to finish losing my weight"...it's been 2 years and I've finally got the motivation to start getting back into the healthy lifestyle, and the fact that my BF is also wanting to eat healthier, and start cooking/exercising more is definately going to help!! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I decided to join this board b/c although I don't have "diagnosed depression", I know there are many times (a few times a week at least) where I look at myself and start to get depressed thinking about how unhappy I am with my body. My BF is the most encouraging man in the world, who adores me and how I look, but unfortunately due to some not so great past relationships, I still have low self esteem ... definately something I'm working on though!! :) |

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I know I'm not really overweight now, but I know that if I keep on the way I am, I will become very overweight, so I've decided to try to get slim now, while I'm young, and change my habits early.
