My Drive
 

I am new here my fiance' has been extremely supportive, eventhough he thinks I am beautiful already he has supported me in this effort. About 6 years ago I lost 75 lbs. I was so happy I could go into the skinny shops and pick up anything and most times I didn't try the outfit on I LOVE THOSE DAYS. My drive this time is to become smaller for my wedding next year. I want to be a knock out for myself, but I know without supportive people around me I will fall off the wagon. Sometime I feel that no one can relate to me especially when I go to do exercise. My back aches, my ankles want to give out but I push myself to run and walk around a park. This is my first week in and my fiance' has been there walking each step with me. I am trying to eat right but it is extremely hard. It's so tough that at my job there is a vending machine (snacks & sodas) right outside of my office door. But I am trying to stay strong and do right by my body.

Good for you! Keep on walking by the vending machine and soon you won't even remember it's there! Good luck, hope you reach your goal!!:)

Welcome!

Maybe make sure you don't have cash for the vending machine and pack a ton of easy satisfying snacks for when the machine is calling your name.

I pack hummus w/ veggie crisps (from Costco), string cheese, beef jerky sticks, grapes, dried apricots, granola bars, meal replacement bars, apples, bananas, microwave popcorn. I make sure I have choices, so I can satisfy my craving in a healthy way. And sometimes I just go for the junk food, but then I have to count it into my daily calories.

Best wishes, you can do it!
