This is me...hello out there! I used to have a nice body back in high school. Of course I thought I was gross and would binge and purge. Now I'm older, midlife. After having a baby 3 years ago I have not been able to lose the weight and I am so unhappy with the body I have. I wouldn't trade my daughter for absolutely anything but I am so tired of the up and down and tight pants and having to unbutton my pants to breath and my thighs rubbing together ughhhhh! Did I tell you I get ahead and then I binge eat. I flipping love food!!!! What do I do? I'm just sad right now

I understand where you are coming from. I think you will find this site helpful. I already have (and I have only been a member for a week). Try not to be sad. The fact that you are here and ready to do something to change is a step in the right direction.

Its down hill from here

Hi useabeetiny. Im new as well. I use this site for motivation too. I gained about 60 lbs in the last 4.5 years. Quit smoking, got married, stopped working out because we bought a rehab house & worked out butts off, and finally...the stress of working for a company where I knew I was going to get fired from for about 4 months stress. Enough giving to everyone & everything else......this is my turn for love and attention! This summer when I jump on the back of my husbands harley.....Im ganna be half way back to hottie he met 5 yrs ago! After many different diets attempted I went back to weight watchers flex plan. I dont feel deprived at all. It makes sense to me that I would rather have a salad instead of taco bell for lunch so I can have my wine tonight! Take it one day at a time. Set small goals. Choose an eating plan you can live with. Find an activity you enjoy and start at it slow....in the end you will win! Good luck!
