For the past month or so, my daughter's friends have been making comments about her "fat mom". I blew it off. Then, I saw a woman at the pool this weekend, who I *thought* had the same build. I asked my husband whether I should get the same swimsuit style. He looked at me and said "um, hon, you're bigger than she is". I love the man, and he thinks I'm beautiful, but darn it, I want to be thinner!
I cried, left the pool feeling like I shouldn't be seen in public, and came home determined to do something about it.
I would drink a 12 pack a day of soda, and eat junk food with my 150 pound husband every night. We eat healthful meals, but I was eating two plates full, and shoveling it in, almost in a panic about not getting enough to eat.
That was Sunday. For two days, I've done really well, and I have a feeling this time I'm going to do it! I know I'll have days when I need other people to support me, so I searched and found this group. I look forward to reading everyone's success, and posting my own.

I am new too. I remember the first time i asked my boyfriend if I was about the same size as another woman that I considered frankly very fat and he said no, I was bigger
