Buddy? Need motivation to lose winter weight

rachael52

Hi, everyone. I am realizing I could use a motivation buddy or two. I hesitated to do this because I'm trying to wean myself off a slight internet addiction. But I could use some support and would like to support another person.

I'm only 4'11" so every pound is noticeable and I have pants I can't wear any more -- I'm in elastic waistband pants most of the time. I put on 3 pounds this lousy New England winter and want to get rid of them and a few more.

I have been eating lots of carbs and sweets, people bring stuff into work, my husband buys bags of chips, I have a damned snack machine 100 feet from my office door. And I was anorexic as a teen so I have grappled with food addiction issues my whole life.

What's worse is that at the age of 61 I know myself pretty well and I'm not going to turn into a fitness buff. I do, however have an ellipital machine that is sitting there gathering dust.

So that's my story, not too extreme, but I have to say I feel *uncomfortable* in my current body, it feels bad to me, and it's not me. If anyone would like to be a buddy, please get in touch. And don't be hurt if I don't accept you as a friend, it's because I have to stop spending so much time on the Web.
