Angry Another new one

I originally did this wrong and posted this as a reply instead of a new thread. Sorry!

Name: Valerie

Age: 26

Birthday: 5/4/75

Location: Mechanicsburg, PA

Marital Status: getting married 6/22/02!

Spouse: fiance, Frank

Children: None

Pets: Siamese cat, Casey

Height: 5'5"

Weight: Highest 184lbs, Current around 163 lbs. (I haven't been on a scale since around September so I am just estimating), Wedding goal: 155 lbs. Ultimate Goal: 135 lbs. would be nice!

Treat I have the most trouble giving up: chocolate and cheese

Why I believe I'll be successful losing the weight this time:

When I started graduate school in Aug. 97 I weighed 184 and was determined to lose weight. By June 98 I was down to 140 - I did it all on my own with eating healthy and exercising. Slowly over the last 3 1/2 years my weight is creeping up - a few more lbs. every year. I can't get the motivation back. I feel out of controlI get disgusted every time I look in the mirror. I feel overwhelmed with guilt every time I eat something bad or skip exercising for the night. I would like to think support from others would be helpful in keeping me motivated! I feel very alone b/c all of my friends and family members are either average weight or underweight.

It would be nice to hear from other people out there my age who know how I feel!

Yes, I ordered my dress back in January and I should get it next month. Surprisingly, I only had to go up one size (I have known people who have gone up 3!) to find one that fit and looks nice. It is very slimming, so that of course was a huge factor. Just need to work on those upper arms!

Planning is going well, one of my current joys right now!
