When enough's enough.....
I hope that I have finally reached the point with my weight that enough is enough. Over the last 5 years, I have put on 66 lbs. I hope if I blog about it and just put it out there, that maybe I will do something about it. The sad thing is that I've put on more than 66 lbs., that's just in the last 5 years. I have got to stop and do something different. I am so disappointed in myself and the way I look. I got a new haircut yesterday and I think it's now hit me in the face. So, I got mad at myself a few minutes ago, poured out my Coca-Cola (my absolute favorite drink), and opened a bottle of water. I have been on so many diets and failed. What does it take to succeed? What does it take to stick to it? If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I could use all the help I can get. I'm tired of feeling bad about myself and being embarrassed with the way I look. I think it's time to do something!!! Wish me luck, I'll need it!

Good Luck! I have been struggling also. It is hard to get it off after having a baby.
I am not one that you need to talk to b/c I have a hard time watching what I eat! I do good for awhile and then it's back to doing the same old which is NOT good! I support you 100% in whatever you decide to try! I know it's not easy girl! So...did you do something drastic to your hair???
My cut is way shorter than it has ever been. She did a good job, I'm just not used to my hair being so short! I think that's why I got so upset about my weight. It always bothers me, but yesterday was bad. I straightened my hair today so it looks a little better.
Cut out the sodas..WALK! And try to eat smaller portions.. BUT don't starve yourself and/or stay away from certain things-the more you stay away from it, the more you WANT it..I say NO to dieting.. It has to be a lifestyle change. You'll eventually get used to it.. Being hungry, IS NOT gonna kill anyone..
and YES, I do know what I'm talking about-- Hell, I was 211 with heart problems just 3 yrs. ago!!
Oh, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! good luck
I know your hair is CUTE...your hair is always cute! I know what you mean about short! I cut mine sooo much way back in January and I haven't been completely satisfied since! I can't even get the cut completely right...then I might let it grow a bit! Hope you have a better day today:-)
Thanks for the words of encouragment! I need them! I'm an obsessive eater. I eat if I'm stressed, bored, happy, mad, any reason I can think of. I have GOT to make some changes.
you know what i have been doing?...opie and i have been walking everyday arond 5 or 6:00pm since he got hurt and i have cut back to eating small portions at a time and basically eating stuff that has few or no calories..like diet MD, or frozen waffles for breakfast (only 90 cal for 1 waffle), and the canned veggies and soups only have like 30-90 calories a can. and when i eat beef or pork i eat no more than my fist and lots of things that FLY or SWIM. they have few carolies..i don't eat salads bc that makes my stomach swell and i feel bloated. and so far it has worked ( a lil but i can tell it works) i have gone down 1 belt loop and my size 9 jeans are a lil bigger in the waist and my comfey pants fit loose. and my tummy is not a "swolen" as it was...opie has been helping me alot. he walks with me to give me motavation (sp).
I agree that it has to be a life style change and not a diet. But I really don't have room to give advice, because I need to lose quite a bit myself. I once heard on Oprah, I think, that when you start feeling the hunger pains and you know you ate breakfast just think that that is your body getting use to not eating as much. You are then on your way to losing weight. Don't give in to what you think is hunger, maybe chew a piece of gum instead. Sugarless. Ok, now I'm off to follow my own advice!
