Old Photo's
on May 13, 2008 3:55 pm
Today I thought I would put a few old photo's on my profile so I can see them regularly.  I can't believe I was ever that thin or ever will be again.  That time in my life seems like light years ago.  I hope the photo's will motivate me to stay on track and I can once again enjoy my children as I did back then.  My youngest I feel the most sorry for.  The weight didn't start coming on until she was about 6 months old.  I have missed out on so much with her.  I some how always managed to talk my way out of going to things at school or to church.  I was so full of shame and guilt I didn't want people to see me.  I'm still full of shame and guilt and am working on getting out more.  Hopefully this will keep me on track.

Mothers Day
on May 12, 2008 11:50 am

Well yesterday was a okay day , considering LOL.  Our families met at a nice Restaurant and I did okay considering I had to watch 19 other family members order Steak, Pasta, and so many other good dinners.  Not to mention the Mile high brownie they got covered in Chocolate and filled with chocolate then Whipped Cream topped about a mile high LOL.  I did dip my figure in the chocolate sauce and just savored the taste a little LOL.  Other than that things were good for the day. 

I'm not weighing myself for a while since I am so frustrated about the weight not coming down. I am hoping that by the time I do weight myself again my body had decided to let go a little.  I am proud that I stayed true to my walking even though it was raining.  I even added a little distance to the walk. 

I wan't to say thank you to my friends I have made so far.  You have made a difference in my attitude the last few days.  I don't think I would have made it through yesterday or even had the motivation to walk if it were not for your comforting words.  Thank you so much. I'm so glad that God brought me to this site.  Tonight is a busy night we have a band concert for one of my daughters and I have no idea what to wear.  I have been avoiding theses things for so long I never purchased anything nice.

Soooooo Frustrated!!!!!!!!
on May 10, 2008 7:05 pm

I am soooooo upset and frustrated today.  I have managed to get out for the past two weeks and have been walking just under a mile a day.  I have been at a stand still for a week and a half now.  Not 1 pound has been lost from this horrible body of mine not one.  What am I doing wrong.  I am feeling "why put my self through all this and not loose anything" I am feeling so defeated right now I can't take it. Will the weight come off or am I just stuck at this horrible weight?? 

I read a few forums today and found one answer that seemed to help some.  I guess my body is in starvation mode right now and has not realized what is really going on I guess.  I'm still really frustrated though.  I skipped my walk yesterday because of it.  I guess I need to get back up on my feet and keep going.  I hope my body starts to realize this is it like it or not and starts to let go of the pounds.  I'm reading how a lot of members are loosing so much in the first month and I'm stuck with only 19lbs.  This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Story

Well I thought today I would try and get started on my story.  I may have a little bit of a different story than some of you out there. But, I hope if anyone can relate to it that you will send me an e-mail. It would be so nice to talk to someone who may have been in the same up hill battle I have been in for the past 7 years now. 

I was always a girl who had to watch her weight, Every thing I put in my mouth always added a few pounds.  So growing up I was very conscience about what I ate and how I worked out etc.  I never got to much over weight until after the birth of my last daughter.  I worked out hard, ran every day, taught aerobics even 5 times a week.  When my 2end husband and I started trying to have a child, I miscarried 4 times all of which happened while I was teaching.  The teaching really didn't have anything to do with the miscarriage, but I did find a way to put the blame on the workouts.  When I got pregnant with my daughter we had to travel to PA to get what is called Immune Therapy.  My husband's White blood cells were injected into my blood to help prevent my body from fighting off the part of my daughter that was created by him.  I had a horrible pregnancy and was pretty much bed ridden the whole time.  in and out of the hospital on Mag-Sulphate and a Trabutaline Pump at home, while monitoring contractions over the phone line.  I told myself NEVER again will I consume my life with Exercises and started to look at it as a bad bad thing.  It meant Death to me, Loos of my children that could have been.  Every time I tried to be active I would have major flash backs of each and every miscarriage.  So I just stopped trying.

In the mean time I guess you can say I got pretty lazy in life in general because I started to gain weight like never before.  I stopped trying to stay thin and I guess I just let go.  As the weight came the more depressed I got.  Slowly and Surly I became member in  my Family. This is where my life began to go down hill.  I started to look at food as a comfort and would eat in bed, at night, in the middle of the night, etc. 

The Fatter I got The less time I put in with my Husband and Children.  My Marriage began to suffer, and my children began to suffer even more.  I didn't realize what I was doing until it was to late.  I was already of 200lbs at 5 ft tall.  I was out of control!!

I will be back to finish soon.
