hello and i'm trying not to eat right now

  • I am 34 years old and have been really overweight since my first and only pregnancy. My first and only pregnancy was my ticket to eat, or at least I thought so...that was 13 years ago. Now somehow, someone has shown me how to eat by following weight watchers. I started august 2008 and managed to say goodbye to 77 pounds. May 2009, my birthday, my boyfriend's birthday and family get togethers, once again my tickets to eat. I fell off the wagon hard. This past week, a greater power helped me out again. I quickly found myself going the wrong direction 232 and 3 days ago I weighed at 249. With the support of my boyfriend and daughter I hopped on the weight watchers wagon again, succesfully. My dilemma-- I broke down to my family about what food means to me. I don't want to do that again. My food battle, is just that, my food battle.

  • chunkyckick I have to let you know that your story is very inspiring. Before I figured out how to register I did read alot of stories. Onederland is so far away.....
  • Hi and welcome.

    Coming to read at 3FC is a good strategy. If I read with my morning coffee, I'm far more apt to pack a good lunch.

    We're glad you're here and making your way around the boards.
