Ok gang I have really put off doing this due to just not having the time to really sit and figure out what I wanted to say. So I guess I will start at the top and go from there.
I have ALWAYS been overwieght!! All through grade school I was the "FAT ONE" . I was teased all the time and always the last picked for any team. I was also the "smart one" and was in the gifted program. I never really felt to bad about being the fat one but I do remember it would get to me from time to time. I started dieting back in the 70's and have tried so many things it is not even funny. I was in grade school and the doctor gave me diet pills to try. They work but I felt like I was floating all the time so I would not take them. In high school I wore a size 28 in jeans. I am 5'5". It never truly bothered me. All through high school I had boyfriends off and on and friends to hang out with. In college I know I ened up gaining some weight as the 28's got tight. I then lost some and went into a comfortable 26. I got married to a wonderful man 5 years ago. I think I was wearing a 26 when we got married. About a year or a year and a half after we fot married my sister went on weight watchers and lost 70 lbs. Got herself a boyfriend then put it all back on. I tred several things including ww meetings. they worked for a bit but I was never very committed. I am a highly competitive person and it was just killing me that my sister lost it and I couldn't. I discovered that going up and down staies sometimes bothered my knees so I knew I had to do something. THe all time high that I am aware of was 289 and I knew I did ot want to hit 300!!!! I started WW for the 3rd time this past january at 270. I have never stayed on program or done so well before!! I am very comitted to it this time!! What change. I hav no idea and I don't care. this is the first time I am really happy with the whole dieting thing!! I know it is a lifestyle change and I will always be in a battle with my weight!! I have cried myself to sleep many knights because I wanted to loose the weight and just could not do it! This time I really know I can!!!! I am no longer letting one bad day turn into a week or a month!! It will be the hardest whing I have ever done. This IS the hardest thing I have ever done!! But I will succeed!!!!
