Hello Everyone!
I'm a new person here and I feel that I finally have real resolve to face this beast and do away with it once and for all! I don't want a quick weight loss, just one that will be healthy and leave the least amount of loose skin hanging! (my worst fear).
I used to blame my weight gain on my 4, yes 4! pregnancies but I realized recently that it was just a scapegoat to deny the real reason. The real reason why I put on the weight is because of self-loathing because of a mistake I made. No need to get into details, I know many people have made a similar mistake, but for religious, moral reasons, I really beat myself up. I ate my way out of the gorgeous 145 lbs. body that I didn't appreciate. I thought I had a huge gut!!! I can't believe it! Ugh!
Anywho, I know it'll be a long journey but I feel ready to brave it. I come looking for support and encouragement. I don't know exactly how much I weigh right now. I assume I am 250 LBS. because that is about where I was last I was weighed and my clothes haven't gotten any looser. I used to be about 20 to 25 lbs more after last pregnancy (17 mos. ago) but I did lose that weight. Yeah! I know I have it in me. I don't want to be pushed or drilled, just encouraged and supported and I am prepared to do the same to others.
Well, like any other aspect in life, I need to get some good rest. I'll talk to you all another time.
Onward and upward!
