First I was up 10lbs. Now I'm up 15.

And I'm not going to let it happen any more!!!  Hope you don't mind the rant but I really need to do this and I  need support.

I've not been eating properly. I'm eating things I haven't touched for the last  3 years. I'm a bread, chips and crackers junkie and I'm even eating cookies.   The "head hunger" alien is just taking over my body. This has to stop.  Some of my clothes are tighter now.  I can't bear the thought of gaining weight anymore. 

My life as a fat person was mental and physical hell.  Canes (still), walkers, wheechairs...you name it.   I lost a total of 214 lbs.  It's funny though, I forget and still think I'm fat sometimes.  I still find myself wondering if a big person I'm with, and I, will fit together in a booth.  Silly stuff like that.

Due to arthritis and bone on bone knees and bad feet I've not exercised...even while I was losing weight. I am a VERY bad girl  but I was always in too much pain.  Now I think I want to move more and try to have a better lifestyle.  I do have some equipment I can work on to help with the exercising...I just have to do it.  I'm just so darn rebellious about it all.   

I can't believe how I can turn into such a little child emotionally but...here I am...the child.

I have a feeling I'm going to be fine.  I'm just fed up with myself.  Trying to maintain discipline and exercise good judgement food-wise will not be easy.  Please wish me luck everyone.  Emotional roller coaster here I come!

Life is Good:

We have all been where you are at.  First Step is coming here and asking for help.  It sure helped me.  Do a house cleaning and get all the trigger foods out of your house or at least freeze them so that you do not have easy access to them.  It will take you about three days to stop the cravings if you up your protein and really drop your carb count and drink plenty of fluids.  Try to keep your calories around 1000 a day and start walking.  5 minutes today, 10 tomorrow, etc.  You can do this.  Good luck to you and have a great day.

Now that you know the prolem, your rebellious streak, use it.  Be just as stuborn about not skipping exersize as you were about not doing it.  Decide that it is something you want to do, not something you should do. Find a type of exersize you enjoy or someone who you enjoy to exersize with.  Decide you want to be healthy and no one will stop you. You want to eat in a way that makes you  like yourself after your done eating and no one better get in the way of your goal.
Once you can change the thinking to I want to do this instead of I should do this or I need to do this it becomes a choice.

You are doing it because you want to and no one can get in the way.
Use the powerful engery of rebellion to gain the life you want.

May God give me peace to greet each day as it comes.

Yes!  I'm so stubborn I'll never fail!      I'm laughing but I really see the advice is sound.  Thanks!
