In need of support
on October 5, 2009 3:35 pm
Todays been a very rough day.  The last few days actually.  I'm feeling very much like I'm in a rut.   I'm lacking motivation.  I feel like I'm failing and that I'll never reach my weight loss goal. 

I went out with a couple of girlfriends last night that I hadn't seen in years.  I  was so excited to see them until I realized that even after all of the progress that I've made, I'm STILL the fat girl.  It just made me realize this is really who I am.  It's who I've always been and it's who I still am even after losing 300+ pounds. 

When you friends are little cute skinny things you can't even really discuss this type of thing with them because they just don't get it.  I feel like I'm just spinning my tires.  I want and need a support system that I just don't have. 

Any suggestions anyone?

My Story

My story is much like others I am sure.  I grew up in a home where everyone was morbidly obese which meant that being fat was acceptable. Since everyone around me was fat I never felt out of place or uncomfortable and my parents did not try to keep my diet in check.  I just followed in their steps.   I started packing on the pounds around age 5 or 6 and never stopped.  My weight during my preteen years was around 250 and as a teen through my early 20's I shot up to near 400.  At my very largest I was 520 but lost around 90 pounds on the south beach diet prior to my lap band surgery.  On the day of my surgery I was 425 pounds and now three years later I am down to 216.  I would love to lose about  40 more pounds and am working hard to acheive that goal.  My journey has been a long one but I can honestly say that the best years of my life have just begun.  Good luck to all and God bless you!
