hello... nice to meet you all - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

shinyroom · 05-31-2010, 11:06 PM

i'm shiny and I recently realized, I am no longer just overweight, but have crossed the line into downright fat.

For years I hovered around 160.... Then I spent a few months dancing and watching what i ate, and got down to a muscular 146.

Then, all **** broke loose (death in the family) and I quickly spiralled up to 180 to 184, within the space of just 4 months!

Since then I have stayed in the range of 171 to 189.

But within the last week, I broke that 189 boundary and jumped to 190, 191... right around there...

and realized. No WAY.

This has GOT to stop here.

so, yeah, i'm motivated.

would love to know what threads would be good for Very Resistant to Diet type of people...

it is great to join y'all...

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Hmm, I am not sure what you mean by very resistant to diet? Can you explain further? :|

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle

thanks for replying, and thanks for asking...

i guess what i mean by 'very resistant to diet' is that i have a perverse attitude... if i force myself too much to give up certain food/foods, then i'll have a reaction, in which I'll binge eat loads of junk... in the end, making it worse than what i started with...

over the years i've seen the bad effects of this.
in college i gained the freshman 20 ... and thought that my weight then was bad (130)

then after college, i zoomed to 150 and was horrified.

then a few years later, i hovered around 160s...

and on and on...

every time i tried to control my weight, it worked at first, and then there was a tremendous backlash against the control...
