Hi everyone!
My name is Tiffany Dow. I'm a work at home mom of 3 (I write eBooks) who is 130 pounds overweight. I weigh 265 pounds and want to get to 135.
I just started today after a million (and one!) failed attempts but I've been working with a wonderful local nutritionist who was teaching me to eat normal (eat what you want but listen to hunger cues).
Since working with her, my weight GAIN stalled (good thing) but it didn't reverse because I never actually took time to listen to my hunger cues - in other words, I wasn't acting on the lessons she gave me.
I did something brave or stupid today (depending on how you look at it). I posted on a major business forum I'm a part of and blasted an email to all 4,000 customers on my list what I was doing - directing them to my blog with full-length pictures I took of myself today in a SWIMSUIT - Ack!
Now that it's several hours later, I'm panicking and wondering why I exposed myself like that. It was freeing to a degree. I feel debilitaed business-wise by this weight. I use a very outdated picture, I won't attend seminars, and I won't make YouTube videos for my business (a vital part of what I do).
But it's out there now! No turning back. I just wanted to join here for some added comfort and support and inspiration.
I did an hour on the tread today. That was a feat unto itself.
Glad to be here!
