Hi. I was a member here about two years ago. Did really well and lost about 40 pounds, but hit a bad patch and put it all back.
Now I'm just really disappointed (make that disgusted) with myself. I recognize all my bad habits and triggers and everything else, but haven't been able to beat them back.
Today was the last straw for me. I went to my nephew's pre-K graduation, and afterwards one of his little friends said to him, "Your aunt is so big because she eats too much sugar." No one else heard it - just me and two five-year-old boys, but I was so embarrassed and depressed by it. Even worse, I came home and ate ice cream to drown out how I was feeling. I don't want to be an embarassment to my nephew, and I'm sick of my own embarrassment too.
So I realized I needed to come back here and hopefully turn things around. I'm glad to be here again and so glad this place exists. I hope to meet lots of new friends and I hope we can help each other through this.
Carol
