I Want My Best Self Back.

  • While perusing weight loss support forums, I chuckled at this site's name...3fatchicks. Mostly because, I am 1fatchick who definitely needs to get her stuff together.
    Somewhere between a hectic teaching career, two children who I solely provide for (and glad ly), and running this house.... I lost myself. I'm in there, but hidden away. Does that make sense?
    The scale climbs a pound or so per week, and with each pound and ounce, hope slows, then grinds to a halt. I almost resign myself to become something I'm not.
    Almost. But not quite yet.
    If you are or once were like me, and are coming out the other side, regaining you again, I'd love to hear from you. It's time for me to fight this 40 year old spread, and I've got to get motivated! Thank you.
  • Looking for a workout and eating/accountability buddy?
    I would gladly offer support and a verbal kick in the bum when needed and would appreciate the same in return.
    I identify myself in your story…….not all parts of it but A LOT of it!
    How do you private message here?
    Let me know if you are interested.
    In either case, best of luck to you!
  • This is a good place for support. I recommend joining threads that 'meet' daily. There are a bunch of challenges (fitness, food, etc.), daily accountability for food/exercise, and many more.

    I can identify with feeling helpless while watching your weight climb. It's awful. The good news is you can absolutely change that. No question. There are a lot of inspiring success stories here on this site that are evidence for that.

    Do you have a plan you are following or would like to follow?
  • Thank you both! No I do not have a specific plan, though through success in the past I know my body responds best to meat, vegetables, and plant and protein green smoothies. My sweet tooth KILLS me.
    I do agree I need accountability, so will check into that. Healthy in2015, I have no clue how to pm on here as it's my first day, but that sounds great. I need my butt in gear...before it gets bigger! Lol thanks both of you.
