Hi Everybody,
Forgive me if I am doing this wrong. Ususally I am very good on the computer but find it confusing here for some reason. Years ago, I was familar with the Richard Simmons news groups, which was bulleton boards simular but not. So this is new to me, I loved those boards but after awhile they became a very negative place to be. I don't need negavtive support. So I dropped the list and have been in search for something like this for a very long time. Here I am! Everyone seems so nice. I thank those of you who have given me a warm welcome and have said hi to me.
So here we are today. I thought that I would post my goals for today.
# 1 Drink 64 oz. of water.
# 2 Work out for 20+ minutes
# 3 Eat well. Live well!
Just so you know a little bit about my current situation. Readers Digest Version! I have been with my husband for 8 years in August. We both had great jobs, were buying a house. Both had fairly nice cars, I had enrolled in school to become a decorator, as I have a passion for it. Life was good except my weight.
I was given the oppurtunity to move to Truckee, California to work for a couple and in one year my husband and I would own the company and move back home to Spokane with it. It was hard, I had never left home before. We sold our house, quite our jobs, sold our cars to get a Ford Expedetion because in Truckee, you are in the Sierra Mountains and it snows allot, and there are tons of hills.
Here we went to chase our dream. In January, I startet out with a bang, I worked out every day, did my thing, got into my groove, was actually losing weight. I don't know how to put this to where you won't be bored but will understand...
The couple that we worked for were not nice people and we soon caught them in more lies and time went on. I was running the company due to their health problems etc. Every week, I asked them for a contract stating when, how much, we would buy the company for. There never followed through.
One in Feb. I told them how I felt, about the lies and said that I felt I was being lied to or brushed off. We had been down there for six months and I needed a contract. Everything was fine. See ya tomorrow, I will have an answer to all of your questions.
Two hours later, I recieved a phone call and she said, we have made a decision and your fired. I was dumbfounded, my dream crushed in a matter of minutes. Every dime we made on our house we spent to move. Our Mortage payment in Spokane was 554.00 a mos. Rent there was 1500.00 a mos. We were busted flat in Truckee. We had a lease until August.
Needless to say, we had to borrow money for a Uhaul, I packed up the house in 4 days, talked to the landlord, he was thankfully understanding. We now live with my Mom in her small house. My husband just got a job and I am currently looking but feel discouraged because of my weight.
I am not depressed about it anymore but I will tell you I damn near ate everything in site from Feb. until now. So, here comes summer and little miss mistie is still in a size 32 and well over 300 pounds. Its time to make something good come of this. Stop waisting time and lose the weight.
I lost over 100 pounds when I was 18 and I gained it all back. For some reason I have tried several times and have always failed. Not this time.
Thanks for reading my story and learning about my situation. I don't want any pity, just some good solid friends who we can support eachother in this weight loss battle. I hope to meet people, learn new things, hear new ideas, I love success stories. I was reading posts lastnight and came across mthergoose? She was my size or short of it and has lost all that weight, she really inspired me. I love that feeling.
I will see you all around and look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you.
Until then,
Mistie
Hello?
