Red face New to the Group

Hi everyone,

My name is kim. I am new to the site. I am a 27 year old mom of 3 little girls. I am a stay at home mom. I also work from home doing some data entry. I am at a point in my life I really need a change. I am severly overweight. I have been over weight since the birth of my first child 7 years ago. I have tried so many diff. things and programs (not to mention dangerous diet pills), to get this under control. I can't seem to break the addiction I have to food. I am a christian and thought that maybe this would be a good fit for me. I am doing it on my own with out a group, so this is gonna be a challenge for me. I was hoping that by joining this forum it would give me the support I so desperatly need in this journey. I am a vegeterian and am a little worried about what I can eat on this program So if anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully this is day 1 of my new life!!

Sincearly,
Kim

Thanks so much guys!! Today is day number 2 on my journey to get healthy. Today was a HARD day!!! I am having some withdrawl headachs from not drinking pop. That made it rough. I almost gave in this evening. I was feeling like crap and just wanted some fast food for dinner. I was telling myself every excuse I could think of to convince myself it was ok to just do it. It sounds so silly saying it all out loud. I feel like a drug addict. I did it though!!! I didn't give in. It was hard but I kept hearing Jillians voice saying "life is just a series of choices". I have to make better choices. I tried not to think about all the successes or failures of my past. I just had to take this one choice and do my best, and I DID IT!! I cannot tell you the sense of accomplishment I have. I know that soulnds silly, but it is really a huge deal for me. I have used food as a coping mechanism for so long. I am trying to change my whole outlook. I am trying to come to grips with the fact I deserve to take care of myself. I am worth it. WOW, that is hard to say. I teared up even typing it. That goes against everything I have told myself for so long. I am just trying to learn how to love myself, so I can better love those around me. So thats my little rant for today. I don't know if anyone cares. I am just stoked that I took a small step toward my goal. Now onto day #3. I am excited to see what it wil bring me.

hey everyone. Day #4. Today was the first day I actually felt good. I woke up without a headach for the first time since starting this. I guess the withdrawl symptems r done (hopefully). I am really hopeful. We went to eat mexican last night (my fav). I did good. I ate a small relativly healthy meal, and I didn't even touch the chips! That is HUGE for me! I finaly feel like maybe I can do this. Small victories.

Hey Kim!

I am also new to this forum... I believe not eating chips at a Mexican restaurant is a huge victory!! That is VERY hard to do!

Good luck with your journey! YOU CAN DO IT!
