I am assuming that no introduction in this forum are from people that are happy to be here!

My name is Kim. I have 2 kids. I'm 5'2". With first dd i was a fit 140 when I got pg. 195, when I delivered and got down to 160. With dd 2, I was 215 when I delivered. 215 on 5 foot 2 inches is not hot, and neither is the 195 I am now.

I can diet like crazy thats not really the problem, but its not worth a damn if I binge when I am not on my diet..

I'm sorry I am frustrated, I cannot believe I let myself get this way.

Hello and Welcome! If you have to learn that diets don't work. Food is not the enemy!!! Emotions are!! Life is complex and so our mindset. Get active,keep a journal of your daily thoughts..drink water, and important, make some peace time with yourself,.. You can do it and Good luck!!

Welcome! There's your problem right there "I can diet like crazy thats not really the problem, but its not worth a damn if I binge when I am not on my diet.."

It's not about being on a diet it's about changing the way you look at food! You have to find a way to lose the weight that works for you not just for today or this week but for the rest of your life!

You can do it!

^ what they said. You CAN do this! You just have to really, really want it bad enough, and be willing to do the inner reflective work to get yourself there. I highly recommend blogging; it's done wonders for me in 5 short weeks!

Welcome!
For me it's about changing how I eat, and what I eat....and what I do when I don't feel like doing anything.
I'm new here and have 3 clean weeks on South Beach. I am on the way down and am feeling better already.

I really appreciate the support and friendship I have found here in 20 short days.

Find a spot and settle in. It is a big step to post here.

If you want a friend who will keep you on track you have come to the right place. Welcome and good luck
