Hello all,
just thought I'd say a quick hello. I just joined this forum and from what I've seen so far, looks like a great place! Read so many inspirational stories already!
A little about myself...I woke up one day and realized I had gotten way bigger than I thought I was. lol Funny how one day, it just hits you... "I'm fat!" Like couldn't I realize this when I only had 20 pounds to lose?
lol
Better late then never I guess.
I've lost 55 pounds so far. Yay me! I've tried losing weight before, but never stuck with it. I'd go on a diet and then the old..."a little bit of this", "a little bit of that" and soon, old habits are back and the weight is at a stand still. Or worse...it creeps back up! Eep!
This time, I'm not really dieting. I'm living healthy. I'm eating what is good FOR me...not what feels good to eat for the moment and then makes me feel all blah. And I think that's the biggest difference for me this time around. I look at food as "is this good for me?" Same thing with exercise. I don't look at it as punishment for being fat...I see it as a gift to myself. Doesn't make it any easier lol But now I think about what all of it is doing to my heart, my skin, my hair, my energy. And the feeling of accomplishment makes it all worth it.
Anywho...enough about myself. lol Just wanted to say hi and good job everyone!
