Starting Over

carrie0210

Hi All - I've decided now is the time for me to start over. About 3 years ago I lost a little more than 60 lbs and have since gained 40 back. I'm scared to death that I'm going to gain it all back. My issue is that I don't know know to say no to food and never can just eat a piece, or a bite, I have to over indulge. I try to be a "body positive" type person and truly am OK with who I am and what I look like. However, I feel pain, and discomfort and cannot handle it any longer. I want to lose enough weight so the knee pain will lessen, the back pain will lessen, and of course so that I can fit into more of the clothes that I love and are not in my size.

“So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again”
Frank Sinatra

I'm with you! I lost almost 50 pounds 4 years ago. My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and I lost it! I started eating everything in sight. I'm now 6 pounds away from where I was when I was 9 months pregnant with fourth kiddo. I struggle with binge eating.
