Time for a Change
 

I decided a week and a half ago that I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I have a fifteen year class reunion next year, I have a big get together of friends this fall and a number of other things planned in the next year and a half and I would like to be able to enjoy all of them. I want to fit comfortably in restaurant booths, be able to walk and talk without huffing and puffing and actually be able to find clothing that fits easily without having to go to specialty shops.

I have seriously (for the first time ever) been on a diet and so far have lost twelve pounds. I decided it was a good time because big fat girls and triple digit temperatures don’t go well together. I am not an emotional eater, I just love to eat. I think about new and wonderful things to eat all the time and it is pretty much a hobby, but with it so hot, not even food has sounded all that good. I thought now would be a good time to get another “hobby” or at least get away from the high calorie part and make myself eat better, healthier foods.

I am hoping to lose 150 pounds, that’s my first goal and anything after that to a healthy weight is just icing on the cake, so to speak. I know it will take time, eating better and exercising to get there and motivation, lots and lots of motivation. So that’s why I am here, hopefully just reading and posting will help keep me focused.

Welcom to 3FC, this is a great place for support. I belong to a thread called 1 yr / 100 lbs under the support groups. Drop by some time its a great bunch of ladies.

Good luck on your journey.

Welcome! And best of luck to you!

Thank you so much!

Welcome on in .. Im a newbie too :)

I know what you mean about the restaurant booths! OMG ... scared to eat in case I cant get out again! Then there are the cafes with the plastic chairs that you KNOW are gonna collapse as soon as you sit on one! We even have a couple of deck chairs I refuse to try to squeeze into for 2 reasons .. one I may not get out again .. and 2 .. chances are I will make it collapse rofl.

Good luck and great work on the first 12 pounds too! If you want a buddy for your journey drop me a PM :)
