Hey guys and gals,
I want to start off by telling everyone a little about myself. I am a 25 year old mother of three beautiful girls, and wife to one wonderful man. I have battled weight as long as I know of. I never remember being small. Atleast not what I considered small at the time, now looking back, I would LOVE to be the size I was at 18! I have tried so many diets and fads till I am at my last draw, and honestly to some extent about ready to give up on losing weight. I wonder if I am doomed to spend my life overweight, more accurately, OBESE. I am pusing 260, I never in my life thought I would weigh this much. When I was 18, I weight 160, and I thought that was HUGE. Here I am 100 lbs heavier, and at a desperate stand in my life. I want to grow old. I want to be able to run and play with my girls. I want to FEEL like I have a sexual appeal to my husband, even though he says he is still attracted to me. But, most people know if we don't see ourself as attractive, beautiful, sexy, etc. we will never believe that anyone else will. I really am at a stall. A stall in everything. My weight has become some a burden that I don't want to buy new clothes. I don't want to go to anything that involves being in public, although I do for my kids benifits. But, I am ebarrassed of myself! I hate to look at myself, even to the point where I hate to look at my face in the mirror. I used to think well, atleast I have an attractive face. Now, all I see is this double chin looking back at me. I have had the most luck and weight loss with the Atkins diet, but I got bored with it and quit. I guess if I am honest with myself, that is the reason it didn't work. Because I became a quitter, for the most part I still am. If it isn't easy I don't want to do with it, hince probably why I am push 260! I am considering atleast going back on a low carb diet, if not atkins itself. But, I am not sure what I want to do yet. All, I know at this point is I am disgusted with being this big, and I am ready to do something about it...this time for good.
