Default Trying a different method

Hi to everyone this is my first introduction as I've been a loyal reader of this site for years. Here goes a long story hopefully cut short. Woke up one day in 2010 and decided I was tired of being tired, having bad knees at 39 and not seeing that sparkle in my husbands eyes anymore. I buckled down watched what I ate, excersized faithfully and dropped almost 70 pounds. Yeah! Success right? Nope.
It has crept back on very slowly, I honestly don't know how much as I'm too scared to get back on the scale, but went from a size 12 to a 14, and that's the wrong direction. So I was watching a show this morning talking about diets. I believe it was The Today Show and a woman was saying to make things public, and that would help you be more accountable. I've never done that. I excersized alone, made my food choices alone, had my good/bad days alone. So I finally have the nerve to start posting. I will happily support all of you ladies and will,
I'm sure ask for support from time to time. I will let my Facebook friends know, I will stop excersizing alone even if it means that I have to join a gym which to me is like starting middle school as the new kid not wearing the "right" clothes. I have closed myself up and pushed people away out of shame and sadness at what I did to myself. And I vow to all of you ladies who have inspired me that I will follow thru. Thank you for the inspiration.

I think it's true about making it public. It has helped me to post here, I feel as if I am held accountable for my eating habits and amount of excersizes I do. Well welcome and best of luck!
