Thumbs up New

Hi everyone, I'm new and I am wanting to get back into shape. I have had two babies in the past four years and my body has took a beating. I am tired all the time and when I do get a break I eat!! I am working on my control issues. I don't have any control over my eating habits.... if everyone else eats it I do too. I am 24 years old and feel like I'm way older. I have neglected myself long enough and I'm am ready to win back my body, and my health. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and hating myself. I'm tired of missing out on things because I can't do them. I am 5"1, maybe 200 lbs. I NEVER weigh myself so I don't know for sure. I hate to weigh because I get really depressed!! I'm am ready for this and I am going to buy some scales today... If anyone can recommend a diet that would help it would help alot. I NEVER diet or anything. Talk about needing a buddy... I really need someone who can be tough to keep me motivated. I don't want to go through this alone... I feel I'll give up unless I have someone there to understand and help out.

Hi! I'm new too. I've had 2 babies in the past 2 years. (My son just turned 2 on Sept 30, and my duaghter is 9.5 months old.) I was actually smaller after I had my son than before, but this time I wasn't so lucky. I'm 5'9", 212 lbs, and a size 14/16 pants.

Default Hi

Hey Trish. I understand about having no control. Whenever I get a minute to myself, I feel like I should eat. Or sit down and indulge in lots of fatty things, ice cream, chocolate, chips. My highest weight was 220 when I gave birth to my son. I feel like I can't blame my weight on my child anymore, he's almost 15 months old...now, it's my fault. I am down to my prepregnancy weight but I am not happy with that. Anyway, I would love to buddy up. I have to feel accountable otherwise I will eat my whole kitchen. I look forward to getting to know you.

Thumbs up Hi

Well yesterday went pretty good, until I decided to baked some rolls. Oh they smells so good and I just had to have 2. I went last night and purchased my very first scale!! I weighed and could have cried. I weigh 210lbs. The most I ever weighed was 254lbs. Oh!! Well I know that I can't let it get me down. I am starting a diet today. I am going to cut out my sugar intake, stay away from all the real starchy veggies, NO bread... it's my weakness...., drink plenty of water, have about two snacks a day....??, get into the exercise mode.... walking... sit-ups...dance to high beat music ( the most weight I have ever lost was when I was dancing so what the hay might as well try it and see how it works again). I have decided that everytime I want to eat I am going to drink a glass of water and sit right here and type something. I'm not going to lose it all in one day but I am going to be strict on myself.... I have to be.
I began gaining all my weight when my husband and I moved in together. I haven't stopped yet. He has lost so much and last night when I weighed I weighed more than him.... I told him and I felt so ashamed!!! He only weighs 10lbs less then me... but I'm short so it shows up on me... everywhere. He looks great. I'm am not going to let that beat me down!! I am going to let that motivate me, to work harder to get to where I really want to be. I feel like I'm a totally different person because of my weight. I don't smile as much and I am always complaining about having nothing to wear... because nothing fits right.
This morning for breakfest I had 3 pork skins ( I know that it's the best thing but... no carbs!!! Usually for breakfest I have two fried eggs, toast or biscuits, saugage or bacon!!) So I look at it like this.... That was a big improvement. For lunch I usually eat two sandwiches... plus chips and a coke. NO not today!!! I don't know what I'll have but I'm going to sit down and make a list of things to eat and stick to them. I am going to chart everything I eat and drink and see if that helps by posting it on the ice-box for everyone to see. That way everytime I go in there to open it up I'll see what elae I've eaten and won't want anything. I've decided to weigh every morning and post it as well. I am soooo exicted to get this job going!!! That's how I'm going to look at this like a job. The reward is a better ME!!! I'm real excited to have a buddy to share this with and it will help out so much.
