Need support. I have not posted anything in a while.
I am so tired of trying. I have been on diets since I was 8 years old. I remember going back to the doctor and getting weighed a week after the doctor put in some diet. I weighed more than when my first visit. I think that's where it all started. From then I have been in every program, every pill, every shake, every meeting you can name. I have been very successful at times. Loosing from 50 to 80 pounds each time but every time I gain some or all back but what a high when I loose. Everyone tells me how great I look, I can shop so much easier, I feel better and I can even take pictures without destroying them when they are developed. I know I am not alone. I know it happens to many people. They say it has to be a change in lifestyle. December of 2002 I had lost 80 pounds after a year of working out and eating right.Thought this was the last time. I swore would stick to my new lifestyle but I once again ended up gaining much of the weight this year. I thought I had it so together. I swore I would never go back to feeling awful again, I even believed it myself for a while. Something happens that makes me go back to my terrible eating habits. No matter how much people tell me they get use to doing without so many goodies. I still don't know how they do it. Life is so hard, between working in or out of the home and taking care of a family. Therefore I find it hard to give up those small pleasures in life like a chocolate bar or a pastries. I know what you guys are going to say you can half of one or you may have a weight watchers sweet but it does not work like this for me. If I start I don't know when to stop. Not to mention how hard it is to go to all the different functions throughout the year which revolve around foor.
I have started once again on my own, it has been about 2 and a half weeks. I feel better already but I don't trust myself. Every time it becomes harder and harder. I want to be and feel healthy, but I think that it is not fair that so many people eat all day long whatever they like, not even giving a darn how many calories is in foods and are thin as could be. Would like to hear if any of you guys feel this way and sometimes just want to give up, or are you going to fight till the end and if so do you think it is worth battle?
I want to find the secret to maintaining when I loose !!!!!!
