Wow...What An Inspirational Site!
 

Hi everyone,

After browsing this site quite a bit, I feel very lucky to have found you all! There is so much motivation and inspiration here, which will be very helpful for me.

I'm 5'9" and have always been one of those people who tend to carry their weight "well," so I'd never actually look what I would weigh. I've struggled with weight most of my life, and have been as small as 118 and as big as 223. My weight has always varied depending on what I'd be going through at different points of my life, and that's because I'm an emotional eater. My obsession is with carbs/dairy/ sugar! Like all of these little happy endorphins are released whenever I eat any of those 3, and it's shameful :( I'd like little happy endorphins to be released whenever I exercise, but I'm not there yet.

I've never had a really healthy relationship with food that lasted more than 5 months. I've struggled with eating disorders most of my life and now that I've gained all of this weight (that I gained rather quickly after marriage might I add), it's really difficult for me to lose. It's not like the days when I'd gain 10 lbs and could lose it within the month and be back to normal size. I'm now very over weight, and it feels like such a huge mountain to climb to get down to even a once dreaded 160. It's going to be difficult, but I know that I can do it, and there are so many wonderfully inspiring posts here that I know can help me.

I'm very happy to be here :D

welcome welcome welcome your story sounds like mine I have struggled with my weight all my life, I was a skinny child then when I hit puberty I ballooned.

Welcome Welcome!

Be sure to check out the Chicks in Control part of the forum--as an emotional eater myself, it was wonderful to see that others had similar experiances to mine. I thought I was some kind of freak--turnes out a lot of people have similar problems!

Welcome, I am new here too, I need to get motivated to exercise too. Maybe we can support each other. I would be happy to have you as a buddy, since I am also looking for encouragement to begin exercising, maybe we can kick each other in the but!

Welcome and good luck !

:welcome: Glad you joined us! :yes:

Thanks for all of the wonderful welcomes and advice ladies! Candygirl, I've added you to my buddylist... let's kick butt together :D It's always fun to have a partner through something this difficult :)
