Gosh it's been forever since I've been on this site. This WONDERFUL site... that helped me SOOO much in the beginning! I wanted to drop in and give a little update. I have now lost 90 pounds and still counting. I'm at a little plateau right now... well kind of a long plateau... but I'm not caving. I love my new life, my new body, and my new attitude! I will never go back! I can walk 5 miles without stopping.. probably more! I am basically a gym rat now and can't wait for my daily fix. I never in a million years would have imagined this would happen to me. Thank goodness I didn't give up in the beginning all those times that I wanted to... I really really wanted to. Thank goodness I found this site and had so many of your stories to use as inspiration!
If you are just starting out... my words of advise.
1. LOVE yourself... you ARE worth it!
2. When you fall... it's ok... don't punish yourself by quitting... dust yourself off and keep going... one meal or one binge isn't the big picture.
3. STAY on this website. Read, post, look at pics, there is so much help and support here... when you feel weak... come here!
