Embarrassed!

Here's the difference between now and when you were a size twenty, even though it took a little bit of time, you are able to say, "Yes, this is my fault, but now I'm going to fix it before it becomes a big problem." How many of us never said this to ourselves for years and then when a big defining moment came along (not fitting on a roller coaster ride, not being about to keep up with kids, not fitting on an airplane, getting a comorbity, or a doctor just calling you out on your weight) figuring it out. Sometime you must take a step or two backwards to be able to really and truely figure out what you are feeling and where you want to be in life. You've already hit rock bottom, you're not even close to that right now. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

You will get this and you got it! It sounds like your doing great and to me you realize whats the issue is. I too have come to the realization that its me and I need see where it is I have the biggest problems...and I am...so here is to us!! You are doing great!

thanks for the encouraging words ladies! according to the scale at the doctor's office i gained 7 pounds since march. i was already for my doctor to say something, but he didnt. he told me i looked great! whew! so now that i got another filll i'm back on track!

Hang in there Jennifer. I know what you are feeling. My weight seems staled and then it creeps up a numger or two and I get all depressed. I haven't had the time to blog since summer started and my kids have been home. It is harder with them off from school and always eating everything. I I got down to 196 about 3 weeks ago and now back at 200. I want the 1'S BACK. Not so far away, just need to wait what I eat went I get all crazy with kids and things. Forget to pack my stuff and munch on theirs. Oh only a bite or two... but doing that a few times a day addes up So lets do this together and get back on track. We are worth it. I LOVE my size 12 jeans and don't want to give them up....until it for a size 10! I put all my size 22 thru 16's in a bag to give away. Actually took them out of house into shed. First time I got rid of them and it just put away til I needed again.. Felt good. So hang in there. You can do it. Clean slate... let begin again now.Suzie

thanks suzbuni! i totally feel you on loving the size 12's! yes we can do this. i got a fill on monday and i was soooo sick yesterday, but i know it's cuz my body had totally slipped into old habits and was used to eating whatever, that when i went on liquids it was in shock. i think my blood sugar must have dropped seriously, i thought i was going to pass out. so since monday i'm down 2 pounds. my band is kinda tight, but i am gonna stick it out and get to that size 10 by august! yes we can do this, please keep me posted on your journey.
