Hi

Hi, my name is Tera. I have been fighting the bulge most of my life. I started to really gain the weight when I was about 8. I never understood why, when I was really active. You never could catch me in the house. There was no Nintendo or ps3's or anything remotely interesting to keep me in the house, so outside was the happening place to be.
When I hit my teens, I'd say about 13 I saw a dietician about my weight. I lost 23 pounds then stopped. It was like my body was stuck in limbo or something. I walked my butt off, lifted weights. When I got older, I barely ate anything, I walked, I rode bike, I never stayed in my house. I went and played pool, bowled. trust me for a big girl I was active I was probably about 170 or more at that time. Eating one meal a day and just exercising, I became obsessed with it. Of course when your a teen, it means a lot to be thin n be Idk attractive. This went on n on til I hit about 21.
I met my bf at 21, got pregnant about and had my first baby at 22. OK I gained some serious weight with her. I loved being pregnant, but I will admit I didnt like what it was doing to my body. I gained probably about 50pds or more with her. The worse part about this all and my bf can vouch for this. I was throwing up ,most of the time. CRAZY!!!! I could never keep anything down til about my 7 month. I seriously couldnt wait to get her out. Well I had her and my body started to go uphill. SO sucks for me.
I didnt have my next child til 5 years later and the rest of my kids kind of popped out one by one after that. lol Altogether I have four children. All of my pregnancies, I think except for one has really affected my weight. But after my second is when it really started to do more damage. I think this started to depress me and I gave up for awhile of even trying. I hated myself and my body. I started to hate the world, I still kind of do. I hate how people think of big people. That they are lazy or they eat too much. My bf is average size guy, who eats like a pig and no one would give him a second glance if they saw him stuffing his mouth. Yeah, It makes me sick and kind of envious in a way.
I just started to lose weight again. So far altogether I lost 30 pounds. I found out through one mishap in my life that protein was and is my key to success. I just started this fitness pal 3 days ago. So far its alright. I personal think some of the people on here dont need to be on here. lol I prefer to hear real stories of peoples success, not I was 124 pounds n need to lose 2 pounds and your devastated by your gain. Kind of obsessed if you ask me. So please if your already thin, I am not trying to be mean, but you never had a problem. And you I sometimes think people do this for the attention. Well, whatever, but I will pass. I am looking for real people with true success.
My goal is 20 pounds here n there, but my main goal is to get down, if I can, to weight of 170 that I was at. I wont reveal my real weight cus I really dont need anyone sympathy or criticism. When I say criticism, dont go there with me, you dont know me, so shut your trap. people who dont hear you out are a waste of space n time, and this is suppose to be a support system, not to put people down. And anyway, can you tell me how if you put someone down, how the other is gonna benefit from that? Well, honestly if your putting people down, it tells me your just as insecure as me, even when you dont admit it, you are but hide very well.
I want to meet people with of course real stories of accomplishing on losing weight, what did you do, what kind of things you did. I like to hear people out on this, I either might try or maybe not. lol I am always up for trying new recipes or new foods that can benefit to your diet. To vegans, sorry, but my body dont work well with veggies. My doctor already said eat as lil as veggies as possible, so the less veggies the better. I am suppose to stay away from the leafy greens, I have stomach issues, this happened after all of those pregnancies. So, if you want to friend request me, thats great, I am a good listener as well as I give good advice.
Oh n for everyones info, I dont like using the words obese or fat, over weight is more classy. Those other words I find very discouraging. Think about it.
