Hi Gals, I thought I'd posted here a day or two ago, but didn't see my name - must be looney today! I'm having a tough day. I am at my all time high weight of 286. I fell apart, couldn't stop crying for quite awhile. I'm 5'11" and I realized I was gaining from the 260+ I'd been holding for awhile, but didn't know I'd gone that high. I am still in shock. The thought of being 14 pounds away from 300 is mind boggling. My short arms are having trouble reach neccessary places and my short legs keep my big belly too close to my steering wheel. Gals, any comforting words? BTW, I'm a Christian woman so prayers are wonderful! Kristi

Hi and welcome here, Kristi and Beth! (no worries about the hat (: )
I hear ya on the shock of seeing those numbers... I went through a similar shock myself recently. Being a part of the 100+ board helps me a lot when I'm feeling particularly low about it all.
Join in on our journals (exercise and food) if you think journaling will help you out. I know it helps quite a few of our members, being accountable to someone other than themselves, as well as seeing their food laid out like that. We've also got some challenges going that you might like to jump in on. This is

Kristi --- I so know where you are coming from....I had my last child and weighed in at about 250 and one day I got on the scale and WHAM! I was 285lbs or something shocking like that. I started worrying about my weight but not really doing anything until I hit over 300....
So we are all in the same boat...tyring to lose weight and coming to the boards for support. Everyone here is so nice...I am glad I found this board and you will be too!
Hang in there with us...working together we can lose a lot if not all of this weight.

TO: cl-tigwy and klyn5 -
I too am a sugar addick, also....but mostly to any thing that turns to sugar....it's a hard life. But I am now just trying to deal with the next hour and the next meal...this month has been very hard for me to stay on this WOE.
I know that next month I will do better without all the partying and food that companies track in here almost on a daily basis!

Welcome, Kristi! I hear you on the sugar. I have the biggest sweet tooth. I have learned to tame it somewhat, but it's still my biggest problem area.
You have the right attitude about not looking at the big picture. I've tried to take small steps towards my goal, and it's worked so far. If I look at all the weight that I have to lose, it can get overwhelming. So taking it a day at a time, and a pound at a time definitely helps.
Again, welcome :)
