I've been struggling with my weight for years...
I never seem to maintain the motivation and determination it takes to lose weight permanently. *The cycle that usually happens is that I will lose a few pounds, get really excited about it, and then celebrate with food. *Totally counterproductive behavior.
For the past few years I've gained and lost the same 30 pounds a few times. *I don't weigh myself very often, but I always know by the way my clothes fit. *My closet is a mess. *I have clothes that range from size 8 to size 14 all hanging next to each other on hangers. *I refuse to get rid of my smaller sizes because I hope to fit into them again one day
I'm hoping that by using these forums, I will have a sense of accountability that I haven't had before. *Reading other people's stories gives me hope that I too can lose weight! *
Here's to hoping that i will fit into my little strapless black dress again (currently hidden away at the bottom of my closet because it's too depressing to look at it). *If my memory serves me correctly, my husband was a fan of that dress many, many years ago!
