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
