My roller coaster ride

in Introduce Yourself
In my life I've had a great body and loved wearing a bikini. I gained a little weight with pregnancies and thought it was the end of my sex drive...and it was. I gained more weight years after the kids were born and got up to 250'ish. In my mid 20's I lost about 75+ lbs. back to feeling sexy again. I could count on one hand how many times I wore makeup in more than a year, but feeling confident again. Lost even more weight through the next several years while battling a variety of addictions. I was ready for a change but scared to death the weight would come back...and it did. Got up to more than 260 lbs this time. Dealt with depression and finally made a decision to make a change through exercise and diet. A healthy plan. I did really really good for a while. Walked on my lunch breaks and every chance I got. First started using My Fitness Pal and got to a comfortable weight again...I'd lost about 80 lbs. Started feeling more confident and even started dating after 6 years of no dates at all. Loved clothes and shoes shopping! Found some sexy high heels I wouldn't have dreamed of wearing before. Anyway, after dating the same person for over a year I gained more than 40 lbs. the great news is that he never makes me feel like I've gained the first lb. I'm on this journey again. I guess I said all that to say this. I'm humble. I believe there is so much beauty in this world and you can feel hot or sexy at any weight. I just want to be healthy. I want to live a long and happy healthy life. I want to feel comfortable and confident every day of the week. I want that for you too.

    Looks like you really have had a roller coaster ride! I so know that feeling. I'm taking a lot of comfort in trying to be calm about weight loss this go round, and realizing what a long-term goal losing weight is. That's always freaked me out before, but now it feels comforting ... like it's time to settle in to something I can do for the long-run, you know? Anyways, good for you for keeping on trying.
