Hello! New and Scared...

Hello. My name is Lucy. I have a part time job, well, actually two..I have two children, and believe me, they are a job in themselves! I will be 35 this year and I am getting extremely frustrated. Ever since I had my daughter, I have been gaining weight at a speed I did not think was possible. I put on over 100 pounds in ten years !

Some days I feel so disgusted with myself and I don't know where to start. A really low point was when I went on vacation last year to Ireland and had the MOST uncomfortable plane ride. It was awful - the looks, the staring, and not fitting into that darn seat without a shoehorn!

I have tried various diets in the past and just can't seem to stick with it OR the working out. I was interested in the South Beach Diet, but want to investigate all diets before I commit to one.

So, here I am.

Lucy

HOWDY!!

Welcome to the party...

I guess since we are sharing pets...I have a 120 pound Lab mix named Spanky. Somehow we have a pure black cat that we have named Cracker adopt us and we share my neighbors pure white cat Diamond.

I had 11 rats, I used to breed them as pets but due to unfortunate circumstances they all got myco and i lost my whole colony :(


Rats are awesome little pets, especially for kids, when they are raised & trained right.


I'm bout to start up mah business again, this time I think i'm gonna go the dumbo route ... I love them :)

Hey Lucy!
I know, as many of us do, exactly where you are coming from.

I love my little Dumbolinas! When they are tired, their ears swing out and drop a bit and they look quite silly. I have some pics, so as soon as I transfer to disk, I'll post!

Rat Kisses,

Amy

Lucy,

Hi and welcome! Scared? Scared of *what?* There's nothing to be scared of. You've made a decision to lose weight, and that's the first step. So good luck with it. Just make a decision that's best for you, and follow through, and you'll get there. Nothing to be scared of....just enjoy the changes you're making!

Hi again Lucy!


Just in case you haven't already realized or been told, we have a resident troll on our board. She/it has lots of different names but always the same snotty retorts and assinine comments to make. You won't have any trouble finding her but you might have some trouble ignoring her. We all do. Anywho, don't let her/it run you off. There are plenty of wonderful women around here!
