Hi everyone!
My name's Elizabeth, I'm 46, single, no kids, but I have two nieces that I adore . I've felt overweight from about the time I was 10, so 36 years is a pretty long time to have to think (and many times, beat myself up over) about my weight on a daily basis.
I have done WW three times in the last 18 years. By August 2012, I reached 102lbs lost, and felt so joyful. It was my first real substantial weight loss, and I had no doubt that I would be "thin" in no time.
Well, as with many things in life, I had a pretty emotional situation that happened that same month, and it began, at first, a slow increase in my weight. Things escalated in the last year, and in two years I've gained back 70 of the 102 pounds I'd lost.
I'm trying hard to get my motivation back but have been struggling with that for the better part of the last year. Sometimes, having to lose this much weight can feel overwhelming. I am hoping to meet some people that are interested in sharing their journey and struggles, and become part of each other's cheering sections.
Well, thanks for reading my intro post!
Elizabeth
