Everything old is new again... - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

AquaChick · 05-24-2009, 05:02 PM

Hello to all. I am an old poster, coming back after being away a little over two years.
I am looking for a lot of support, because I weigh more now than ever before. I am so ashamed of my out of control eating habits. I can't do it alone. I will not use medication, I want to change the way I do things. Food is a comfort addiction for me. I don't smoke, don't gamble, don't drink, don't shop a whole lot, but I sure know how to put away a pint of ice cream.

I also suffer with an autoimmune illness that causes burning/stiffness in my joints. I am hoping to lose some weight in order to alleviate some pressure.

Anyway, thanks to anyone who took the time to read my re-introduction of myself.

Hi Aqua-
I am a returning poster as well. I finally realized that I am not going to lose weight unless I find some support. I want to lead a healthier lifestyle and break this weight roller coaster I have been riding on.
Hope to see you around!

Hi! I'm glad you've both come back.

Settle in and don't leave again!

Welcome back!

Hi Aqua, and welcome back!

Food is a very challenging addiction to deal with.....other substances you can just walk away from but not so with food. I wish you all the best in your journey, and hope the pain from your illness is alleviated (or at least more manageable) very soon.

Welcome! I too, came back. Although I can hardly say that because I wasn't much here the first time. I guess I just wasn't ready to commit to it the first time. I TOTALLY am now...five weeks in. You, too, can do it. Everyone here is VERY supportive! Good luck!!!

Thanks so much for all the kind "welcome's". I will be settling in, this time for keeps. I need this place, it's way too hard for me on my own.

Thanks again, can't wait to get back in the mix over here.

You might want to give yourself a trying at blogging. 3FC has a great blog system, that serves dual purposes;

1. it let's you keep track of anything personal you want to; feelings, food journal, measurements, whatever.
2. let's you follow other people's blogs and they, yours.

It's helped me a LOT!

Thank you so much! I was thinking something just like that is what I needed, and I haven't had the time to peek around to find out what I can do. Thank you! I swear, it was like you were reading my mind!
