new, and looking for support

  • Hi,
    I am new to the 3FC site and after browsing, got the nerve to write.
    I'm looking for some support in my long journey. I have 100+ to lose. (goal weight of 215, I'm a tall gal) I started WW in January and to date I have managed to lose 31 lbs. I still have a long way to go. I have been big all my life, but after my wedding last fall, I realized I had reached the weight I said I would never be. It's crazy how we manage to find excuses for the things we do to ourselves. So with the new year, I set my sites on a smaller me. I'm doing pretty good. My husband is very supportive. But when its 8 pm. and you really want that cookie/ice cream/ piece of cake, you need a little more.

    I welcome any instant messages, and e-mail, and excited for the new support I hope to gain.

    thanks a million
    Rachel

  • Hi Rachel.... yes join us over on the 100+ 2go thread.
    31 lbs is GREAT!!! I'm at the same number since last summer - but I joined WW after I dropped almost 20. No matter how much I can lose on a "diet"... I need to gain control of this eating situation. You are right about the nightime callings.... I finally removed my TV from the living room because I would sit there until every sitcom was over on Channel 11 and just Eat, Eat, Eat.... I've been much better ever since. Hope to chat with you on the 100+.
