I've been battling my weight most of my life.It's so easy to gain when your surpose to avoid strenuous activity. Also food became my drug of choise. When I get upset I eat.Depressed,angry,bored,I eat. Now my weight and my disease have me almost completly housebound. I can't go to the Mall.I have to shop at stores that provide handicapped carts,and just getting around my own yard is a problem. Two weeks ago I started Atkins.I lost 20 lbs the first 2 wks.This week I've staled as is predicted but am not quitting. It's taken alot to get me started.I've had to look at it as a battle of life and death.I had to get "fighting mad" and brainwash myself into it.
I look for tools to use to occupi my mind and time. Boards have been helpfull.I watch lots of soaps then get on Soapnet and talk about them.I have lots of fur children, they are a comfort.I am determined to start living again.I've survived alot of misery and unhappiness the fifty yrs I've been on this earth and I never let it beat me ,I refuse to allow it to start now.
