Hello Peeps,
My name is Plumpie and I'm a carbaholic.
This is my first meeting.
Here's my story:
This morning, in an effort to eat a healthy protein filled breakfast, I scrambled up 2 eggs in healthy butter flavored spread. I thought I'd save myself a few calories/carbs by using a whole wheat tortilla instead of toast. As my tortilla was finishing up toastng in the pan, the toaster popped up and 2 pieces of toast were staring at me. I felt like a 2 fisted drinker. Tortilla in one hand toast in the other.
There are many reasons why I've turned into the couch potatoe I am. I wasn't always like this.
Lost my job 6 months ago, don't think I'm attractive enough at age 52 and 225# to get another.
Grown daughter is a drug addict and I am constanly on call for her insurance company, medical and legal needs - quite depressing as I have not much time for a life of my own.
Because I have a druggie in my life, I fear inviting a decent man into my world and refuse to settle for anything less.
Recently began wondering (I know I am) if I'm using food as a substitute for sex.
8 months ago I discovered Facebook video games and have become addicted. I lay on the couch with a computer by my side and play ALL DAY! So much so that I sprained a muscle in my arm very badly due to the bad angle of the computer to couch angle - but did not stop. Just suffered through the pain.
I live in an area were the weather is over 100 every day and have no desire to go outside for a walk. Not true, I have the desire, it usually kicks in too late in the day, when the weather makes it impossible.
I don't drive and have no desire to look for a job on the bus. I've had many interviews. Let me gve you an example. A lovely, equally large woman who seemed to like me, interviewed me and called me back within minutes of my leaving her office. I was waiting at the bus stop and didn't hear the ring, it went to voicemail. She excitedly asked me to call her right away. As I was checking my vm at the bus stop one of her employees drove by. When I returned her call I got the voicemail. She never phoned me back. I can only thing the employee mentioned seeing me at the stop and that the equally plump woman needed someone who drove - although that was not a requirement that was mentioned.
My big fat a$$ is glued to my sofa.
2 years ago Dr Oz inspired me and I began walking 5 miles a day - back and forth to the office. I lost 40 pounds. It's all back and more.
Please be my friend anyway and help me back into the world. My life has never been this out of control. This is the heaviest I've ever been. Normally I weigh 170. In the past 90 days I've gained 25 pounds.
Plumpie
