I am proud to say that I have lost 16.4 pounds in exactly 30 days. I hadn't weighed myself yet when I posted my pic yesterday. I post this for people that are new or need a little encouragement. I am the girl that was destined to be a 'fatty' my whole life. Everyone always said "you aren't fat, you look great'. Well, I looked great all the way up to 230 pounds, then I saw a picture and was horrified. I managed to lose weight then, 5 yrs ago, by going vegetarian over something I saw that absolutely grossed me out. After 80 pounds and a year, I was able to eat meat without getting ill by looking at it. In the mean time, I loved my Quizno's and Jack in the Box, and everything you are not supposed to eat NOT in moderation.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2006 and thanks to steroids off and on, I managed to pack on weight back up to 200 pounds. Part of that was me just not caring and being too lazy to move a little and make decent food. Again, Taco Bell was my friend, cheap, easy and falsly "healthier". A friend of mine came to visit and when we went to eat, she was on her phone checking the menu items. I asked what the deal was and alas, she told me about MFP. I checked into it and a month later, her update pic made her smaller then when I saw her and I flipped! that was my Jack in the Box friend..lol. Thanks to her, I gave this site a try. Thanks to her and all of you..I have succeeded and have NO intentions of quitting or giving up. Has it been hard, yes, some days you just want to say nevermind. Have I freaked myself out, yes by eating things I should not eat. Along the way I have learned to eat better and eat in moderation if I eat at places that aren't so good. There are days when that brownie looks good..and if need be I have HALF of one. That way, the craving is taken care of and I didn't over do it. I keep that to a minimum, but have learned to be able to keep it to a minimum.
I want anyone that is new here, or feels like they just are fed up and don't want to keep going to know, YOU CAN DO THIS. If I can...GOD knows if I can, ANYONE can. I am anti workout, who cares, just eat kinda junk food queen. And this site, my friend, and every wonderful person on here has helped me discover a side of myself I didn't know existed. It has made me WANT to be healthier and WANT to care about how I look. Please don't give up on yourself, you can get where you want to be. This isn't a diet, it is a way to look at what you are putting on your plate and make the right changes to help yourself. If you came here, you're here because you wanted something better, something different. You have found it, and changed yourself already by starting a new way of life. Always look to those here to help support you and encourage you. We are all here for the same thing and want the same results and inspirations. Keep at it, no matter what, you can succeed and you will get where you want to be. Thank you all so so much, I owe my life to my friend for pointing me in this direction. Stay positive and you will go anywhere you want. When you don't feel positive, look here for the courage to continue.
