Omg I am fat!
 

hey everyone :)

I am here because I just came to the realization that I am fat! lol Ya I know how could I miss it? Well denial is a great thing! And well i was looking at some vacation photos from 2005, then at the mirror..well it hit full force! Then I started looking at height/ weight charts and it really hit home!
I knew I was getting fat when my tighs wouldn't fit in a pair of dress pants that I had considered HUGE and baggy in the past. Its quite startling really, I have been putting on weight since I got married in April 2006, its really been a roller coaster since then, I don't do well with change, (good or bad) plus dealing with a brand new marriage, a job change (my old was MUCH more active) I developed serve depression, long story short I am on two medicines now and weight 173 pounds at 5'7 , in April 06 I weight 147 pounds. Still when I was 147 I still felt fat...so my goal is 135.

Anyways I am so happy to find a support. I lack willpower servilely, basically with everything when it comes to my body and spirit. So here I am :) You guys have already inspired me!

Welcome and good luck on your journey. Its greast that your starting know the average person will have gained 7 pounds over the holidays. Good Luck and this is a great place to get some support!

welcome, and best of luck! It is a long journey and there will be good times and bad, and mediocre times too..come here to share all of your experiances and encourage others around you. if you fall off, this forum can help you get back on.

Peeking In/Pigging Out
 

Hi,

I too am quasi new. I joined the site a month ago or so, but really didn't seem to mesh with the group I tried to get in. (Actually they changed blogs and never sent a peep to me) I hope I can jump in with you all. Jenny, you have my sense of humor. I died laughing when I saw OMG I am fat. I too have come to the realization the dimples in my legs and butt no longer can be even remotely considered as resembling a muscle cut. :^: No matter how much I would like to believe them to be.

I do not know a diet to follow. I have tried WW and lost some weight but mostly just lost money going to the meetings. I just saw an infomercial (Save us all....) on turbo jam. I am debating about buying it and trying the diet sent with it, but afraid of again losing money on something I won't use. ( I have a dusty bow flex in the basement keeping my furnace company) I am looking for buddies to try something new and to find the new/old me. I have reached an all time high of 182, back to 179 now. I am 5'6 1/2 and would like to weigh 135-140.

If you are up for finding a new you, with me, let me know. Ciao All.
