Hi, I'm Carol & I'm a Foodaholic...
 

Hi. I was a member here about two years ago. Did really well and lost about 40 pounds, but hit a bad patch and put it all back.

Now I'm just really disappointed (make that disgusted) with myself. I recognize all my bad habits and triggers and everything else, but haven't been able to beat them back.

Today was the last straw for me. I went to my nephew's pre-K graduation, and afterwards one of his little friends said to him, "Your aunt is so big because she eats too much sugar." No one else heard it - just me and two five-year-old boys, but I was so embarrassed and depressed by it. Even worse, I came home and ate ice cream to drown out how I was feeling. I don't want to be an embarassment to my nephew, and I'm sick of my own embarrassment too.

So I realized I needed to come back here and hopefully turn things around. I'm glad to be here again and so glad this place exists. I hope to meet lots of new friends and I hope we can help each other through this.

Welcome back, Carol. I'm a Carol also!
First, get over that disappointment that you feel. Forgive yourself for gaining the weight and resolve that this time will have a different outcome for you.
Resolve to learn how to keep the weight off ...forever! Good luck!

Welcome Back! ((hugs)) Tomorrow is a new day. Just take it one day at a time.

Hi Carol and welcome back to 3Fc.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Thank you all! I'm happy to be back.
