I know you all have the same problem as I... wanting to lose weight.
I'm so sick of being fat... somedays i don't even want to eat.. but i make myself because i have 2 children to care for... but most days i wake up thinking" maybe i can get through today without eating a lot"

I know this isn't healthy.... please tell me i'm not the only one.

You are not the only one. I have looked in the mirror and it made me physically not want food lol. I know how you feel Take some time for you and have a bath, read a book or whatever you can to relax, and have a pleasant weekend.

I can only suggest what has saved me, if you want to go through a day without eating a lot, the day before, plan out what you WANT to eat and have it ready. I know a lot of people wouldn't want this much structure in their lives, but it is the only thing that makes weight loss/maintenance possible for me.

You aren't the only one who feels (or has felt) this way. Take it one day at a time. Work whatever program you're on the best you possibly can that day & be proud you did the best you could. Do it again the next day. Never give up! You can do it!

I have been there right with you!
I think that alot of us have gone through that at one time or another.
Take each day as it comes and just keep reminding yourself as much as you and me and other people wish that there was a quick fix to be thin there isn't.....

I know exactly how you feel. Mine ends up in a vicious cycle too. See when I feel like that I don't want to eat I don't have my food planned. When I don't have my food planned I eat junk. Then I feel bad and eat more junk. Then get fatter. I think you can see the pattern.

Honestly what helps me is exercise. It makes you feel better about yourself and it makes you hungry for good foods. Best advice I got for you. Good luck and perk up chickie.

Me too! My 10 year class reunion is 2 months away. I kept saying I would have lost all the weight by then. Haven't even came close. I really really want to go to it, but I won't go like this. I'm double the person I was then. Reality hit today. I just realized how little I go out and do things I'd like to do. Hardly ever and it's because of my weight. There are so many things that I just am too embarrased to do. I try my hardest to avoid being seen. I really don't know what to do.

You're not the only one. It's so easy to start the day with good intentions and then, with one situation or another cropping up, or just having a hectic life in general, the good intentions just fall by the wayside. But you have made a great start, losing almost 30 pounds already!

I love your idea of "saving for the new wardrobe" - that's a really good idea! I might have to convince DH to let me give that a try.

You aren't the only one--but look how far you have come already! You must be doing something right!
