Fellow Fat Chicks?
 

Hi, my name is Jennifer. I am 28 years old and about 50 pounds overweight. I weigh in at around 190 pounds right now. :( Far from where I was before I had my children. I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old. The weight that I gained from my pregnancies never came off.Plus I added to it:o I am serious about losing weight and looking at all the options... which led me to this board. Hoping to find inspiration and encouragement here. Ugh... anything. I have "manic depression". I was diagnosed with it but never went back for any of my other appointments.

I feel like a huge failure at life right now. SO many things need to change and I am going in circles.

Anyhow, glad to be here. Hate to be a downer but Im really depressed tonight. I was doing well with getting exercise and drinking water for about 4 days... I ate 2 chocolate chip cookies a few hours ago. :(

Hi Jennifer and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

Aaw hi Jennifer welcome to the board. I feel depressed alot too, you should try to relax maybe take a bath or just do something you like to do to take your mind off of everything. Don't dwell on the cookies you ate just forget about it and keep on with your eating good. What's done is done and as long as you don't dwell on it and let it get you out of control it will be fine. You are doing great just keep it up make the 4 days turn into 5 days and so on you didn't do anything bad, don't be too hard on yourself. :D

Hi Jennifer, welcome! I'm a newbie too. Just joined this week for support to lose the last 50lbs. 4 days is a great start! Don't let those 2 cookies get the better of you, just put it behind you and keep going!

Welcome! Congrats on reaching out to connect and get support! You can do this! Good luck on your journey! :)

welcome to 3FC and good luck with your goals

Welcome and good luck!

1st.. You are not a failue, failure is not an option. You joined here and that is a great accomplishment.

2nd,,,Don't give up on your Mental Health appointments. Listen to your doctors and take meds. There are people that cares..Never give up hope!!

Good luck with your efforts.. :)

Never say failure. We are never failures in life until we completely give up on everything we do. God gives us obstacles to test our faith, but we just gotta keep on moving forward. Don't let two measley cookies break your concentration. We all have our setbacks. But stay focused on the prize of living a heathier life!!
