Hi There
 

Hiya,

I'm looking for ideas and support on for my weight loss goals this time. I figure if I keep doing what I am doing I will keep getting what I'm getting. I am GOING to lose weight and need some support. I have been approved fully through my medical insurance for weight loss surgery. I'm not ready for that yet though. I thought I was but when I actually went through the beginning of the program I totally started binging so much I gained an additional ten lbs in two weeks! My emotional eating is out of control. My therapist is not doing it for me either so I am on my own. I have confidence I can do it. I have so much to lose though-about 110 pounds.

I am worried about failing again. I hope I can do it for real this time.

Heya :)
Welcome to 3FC! Everyone on these forums are really supportive Mom ma so you'll find TONS of people to talk to about EVERYTHING.
About your weight loss goal: try not to think of it as 110 pounds. It's a big number and the more you think about it, the harder it's going to seem. Maybe think about losing 10 pounds first. Just 10. And then another ten. And another. I had 40 to lose and when I first started thinking abotu it I though: thsi is going to take FOREVER. But by cutting it down into 5 pound goals, it seems easier, and I'm motivated everytime I reach that little mini goal of 5 pounds because I can see I'm actually doing it! :)
I wish you a whole bunch of good luck on your journey!

You CAN do it!! I have a lot to lose, and it is intimidating and seems impossible, but I am setting mini-goals for myself. Plus, think about how good it will feel every time you put on clothes that didn't fit, or someone makes a comment. I've only been doing this 2 weeks, and I'm already fitting into pants that wouldn't fasten last month. It's really encouraging! I'm also going to give myself rewards every time I hit a goal, but I don't know what yet... just that it won't be food :)
This is the right place for inspiration and support! We CAN do this!!

Welcome to 3FC and we look forward to hearing about your goals met

Welcome, and I know you can do this. Our bodies want to be healthy, they just do and with a little help from some virtual pals it all seems more doable. And it does seem big, 90lbs seemed like a mountain at the beginning, and there's a whole lot of people here who have lost so much more than me. Little bits, baby steps and before you know it, it's gone, and YOU did it.
