Hi everyone!

Signed the contract, 'talked' with God, 'dealed' with the Devil, inspired by friends for only one day and I am still here, still the same, in denial and blames every Tom, Dick and Harry and every Jane, Beth and Mary for my weight problems. I just turned 26, overweight, no wait, have to come clean, I am ooo..bese. That was hard, stepped on the scale and counted the BMI thing, was stunned, nah actually I knew it when I ripped my 36inch jeans the other day. My problem? I dwell in the past, well dwelled, hopefully this time once and for all, I have to do it! I am getting older and I am so tired physically and mentally. My immune system is crap plus I am a smoker, I just don't want to one day die in class and leave the kids with nightmares!
 
"Still here" is good. Glad to see you are still posting!

I totally know where you are coming from. I don't like saying how many times I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to turn myself around, in case it makes me sound like someone you should steer clear of. However there have been so many first days that I can't even remember them all. :eek:

Despite that, I'm sure that the positives of choosing enjoyable, sustaining food in controlled ways helps massively with the desire to eat badly. A combination of that, and a little (tiny) bit of exercise and being able to be part of this forum have made all the difference to making me feel I can keep going, since I started here just a week and a half ago. This time my most difficult days came a week after I had started - I'm sure there will be plenty ahead too - and I will be here typing as fast as my fingers will go!!

Even though you were unhappy about your first day, I bet you can find ways to do things that work for you personally to help you along.

Lots of health to you - and keep posting! :D
 
We recently bought a set of scales that reads body fat too. .

that was a real wake up for me. . turns out i'm 1/2 fat

half of my body is fat!

Talk about wake up call! You certainly aren't rowing your boat alone. I'm right there with you. Try try again. I have been trying and stopping, trying and failing, trying trying trying for two months.

Then about 2 weeks ago it just clicked. . the diet and the exercise. . .will it stick? I hope so! But if it doesn't, I'll pick up and go at it again.

I don't want to be 1/2 fat anymore.
 
Am trying!

To jajochku3,

Thanks for the reply, same goes to felici and newbride. Cheer up Jajochku3, I think 1/2 of me is fat too, worse the other 1/2 of me is full of denial and crap but now I want all the 'full-whole' of me to be more positive and give this a go, I haven't been on a real 'diet' for so long, I tried like 4 years ago and I actually lost 20pounds from my then 160pounds and I totally just sucked cos I gave up because of one lousy stupid comment from a relative of mine. I remembered the comment 'what you lost weight? You're still a lump', I have nasty but fit relatives! That's the problem, I am the only fatty in the family, I have gorgeous and fit family members! Well this time, this year's holidays will be the last of them making jokes at my expense, enough as it is because the jokes are getting old and I am getting old, enough! Yep I will persevere, move on and be healthy! No more lumpy and plumpy and fatty!
 
Funny how the negative comments sting so much more than the positive ones encourage?

I bet tons of people were saying how great you were looking but one person brought you down.

Good attitude!! Keep it up!
