:bouncing:
Hi all! I just want to say if it wasnt for this board I would not have made such a turn around. I don't post much I just like to read. But all of you give me inspiration. I am 25 years old and am 4"10 and weigh 153. My husband is serving over seas and I am here taking care of my daughter. I have fought with my weight ever since I was in middle school. And with my height even being five pounds over weight shows. My daughter added on another 40 Pounds. Anyway, because of my issue with my weight, I became deppressed and also was diagnosed with IBS C. I new it was because of my weight. I have tried every diet every pill. And I just kept getting down and down on myself. I come from a skinny family so I always was told you need to loose weight. But I finally gave up. I stopped eating breakfast and lunch and every time I ate to much I would go throw up. My husband had no idea. I made the excuse it was my stomach. My husband left two months ago and I finally hit rock bottom. I just felt terrible ugly and fat.
But then I went to the doctor to get my thyroid checked. I swore that was it it wasnt me just cause I didn't exersise didnt mean anything. Well the test came back alittle off by my doctor said it wasnt affecting my weight. I walked out of the doctors office and realized it was me. I was doing this to my self. So I thought ok I will start going to the gym. Fighting my fear of going to the gym. I always feel like people are looking at me saying look at that fat chick. But I started going simply walking two miles. For about a week I made myself go. Then the next week I started adding weights. Then it was time to eat better. Well its been three weeks and I have lost 4-5 pounds. Its not much but that is what I needed to get my but in gear. And amazingly my IBS has gotten better and my deppression is lifting. I know this is long but I just want to tell all of you who are fighting with the demon of weight. Just adding alittle bit and going from there you can doit. I thought there was no way I could do it. But the payoff is amazing. Everyone has a strong spirit inside of them. It just takes some time to bring it out. I smile more now. And even if I am still in the same size pants I know sooner or later I can go down one size. Everyone has the strength it just takes some time and soul searching to find it. I just want to say to every single special person on this board, thank you soo much. You help me accomplish my goal, I hope you can do the same for your self. Lots of LOve sorry so long

I'm so glad you are discovering the strength you've had all along! You are 4 pounds closer to your goal!! There is nothing that feels better than accomplishing something as difficult as changing bad habits. Accepting responsibility for what you eat, how active you are and how you live is essential for successful weight loss. Just think of the positive role model you are creating for your daughter. Congratulations!
