Where do I start...
| Sat, 09-17-2005 - 12:03pm |
Where do I start? Any help would be appreciated... I dont know which diet to choose. Should I try low carb? low fat? counting calories? Well i need something to get my metabolizm moving again. I usually only eat once a day at dinner and its usually a full plate. My BMI is 52.9(i checked lastnight) I am 29 yrs old 338lbs. 5ft. 7in. tall. Yep I have 7 kids but I am willing to cook our food seperate from theirs. I have an Atkins cookbook and a light cooking cookbook. Any suggestions? I'm not sure how to start eating again without gaining a lot of weight back. Thanks for any help.....

Hey, be careful! Whether you can imagine weighing what we weigh or not is irrelevent and unkind IMO. The rest was fine but man that first part smarts and was of no use.

>>>I'm only 115lbs so I was just a little taken aback when you said you were 338...My best friend in the world is part of this board and I come on now and then to support her...
>>>Wow! I cannot imagine being 338lbs!
It takes alot of guts to share your weight when you are very overweight like we are.
Well I wish I had seen all your post before I left lastnight. I ended up feeling so bad for myself all night. I ended up eating a huge bowl of ice cream and 2 cheese steak sandwiches. I blew it. I'm soooo sorry. I just felt like why even bother. But now that I see everybodys posts I am feeling better. It is so nice to know I am not alone anymore and I have people I can count on. Today is a new day and I am going to do better. No more letting people hurt me and get me down. Thanks everybody for being there!!

I totally understand the "why even bother" feeling! But try to remember WHY you are doing this. It is for YOU, to improve the quality of YOUR life - so it doesn't matter what ANYONE says - not your best friend, or your mother, or your husband...and CERTAINLY not some twig-like stranger on the internet, LOL! Get BACK on that horse and stay up there, girl! We can all do this no matter how many times we've tried before. I'm doing better than I have in YEARS - I never thought this would happen, and the support from this board has been a major push for me.
