in Introduce Yourself
I stopped and started so many times. This time I am convinced it is a lot different. Why! I have been having numbness and a lot of pressure in my left arm lately at certain times of the day. I've always been active and I like to think that I have always been fit but these last couple of years have been up and down for me. I'm terrified if somethings happens with my health so the writing is on the wall. If I don't do anything no one will so it is up to me to push myself. You may follow me and hopefully inspire me along the way (that would be awesome I need all the inspiration I can get) but at the end of the day I have to live in my skin. Today is my 3rd day.

    Good for you that you are starting back up. I posted on another thread about a heart defect I had surgery for and in the process gained a lot of weight. They say to exercise but it is not easy when the heart is not coping with it. But, I am finding myself doing okay now with the physical activity. I have also been up and down in my weight and I don't think I have a health relationship with food, at all. Perhaps one day at a time is the key for us all - knowing that the one day at a time is the actual journey that gets us to the goal we have for ourselves? For me, it is not about "looks" but more about my health and feeling good.

    Support is key because often those close to us are secretly tired of hearing about our weight loss battles. They say they care but they can't get absorbed the way we have to on a daily basis. It is about motivation and discipline - two of which I lose when my external environment gets stressful. I am planning on being on these boards and learning from people in similar situations like my own.
