Talking that big step...I hope!
Hi all! I've been in a long time battle with my weight, as almost all women!! Growing up I always thought I was fat, looking back I was far from being what I thought I was. I went to college and gained the freshman fifteen, and then some. :( I joined weight watchers and started walking with my boyfriend and lost 15 pounds!! Then I graduated and lost my ambition and gained it back. I joined WW again and joined Curves and lost again.
Well, after a few heartbreaks and bad decisions in life I gained a bit more weight because food made me feel better, until I saw how big I was. Then I got even more depressed so I ate more, saw how big I was and ate more! What a vicious cycle this is!! I'm at a point where I get a glimpse of and I start to cry because of how I look. I try and try to diet, or eat healthy but I LOVE TO EAT! I did really well on the Fat Smash Diet for one week but I just love food too much. And my boyfriend, although very supportive of me loves to eat as well so it's hard for me to eat a salad while he's eating pizza. I guess I'm looking for that support system I had at weight watchers without having to pay money I certainly don't have right now. It's helpful to go through hard times with people who know exactly how you feel. I weighed myself yesterday and the scale said 205, not my highest but darn close!! :mad: I'm hoping this site will be what I need. Thanks for reading!! |

You have some options besides WW. First of all, if you had your old materials you can use them on your own while typing here. There's even a WW section! You can also purchase other people's materials from ebay if you no longer have yours. There's an active Flex Area, and we'd more than welcome you :D Another low cost option is an organization called TOPS (taking off the pounds sensibly). They meet in person like a WW meeting, but people are encouraged to follow any food plan that works for them. (Even the WW plan... but without having to pay much.) There is a cost to go.. but it's usually minimal. You'll definintely find support around here. So post wherever you're comfortable. :) Best of success! |

Hi there. . . :hug: . . . So glad you found us . . . take a look in your library for a book called Volumetrics. Sounds kind of gimmicky, but it is very scientifically supported and gives lots of hints for staying really full on fewer calories. It definitely helps me because I love to eat, too, and have to have a way to satisfy my chewing instincts.
Good Luck to you . . . :wave: |
