I've been trying for a while to lose weight, ever since I got depressed and gained a whole bunch. I remember while I was gaining my weight, that I would be around 195 lbs, and I would say to myself "No! I WON'T go over 200 lbs!!!" Then, I'd go over 200 lbs, and say to myself, "215 is IT, I will NOT go over 215"
It went on and on like that until I got to 234 lbs, my boyfriend left me (for non-weight related reasons) and I felt so sick to my stomach that I just couldn't eat.
That basically jump started my weight loss, I lost about 10 lbs in a week from not eating, and even though I knew that it wasn't REAL weight lost... it still felt good to see that lower number on the scale and I decided that I had nothing left to lose and to just give it a try, so I did... and here I am.
(BTW... I've got my lovely boyfriend back
)
