New: Getting off the roller coaster

Several days ago my husband told me that I needed to go shopping because I was in desperate need of clothing. So, I decided to go this morning. To my horror my size no longer fits. I couldn't button them. I walked away empty handed because I refuse to buy bigger sizes yet again. I never want to feel the disappointment that I felt today walking away from the store empty handed again.
I have been on this site before. Once I gained a perspective of what I was doing and started to have success I thought I could do it on my own so I deleted my account. I was wrong. I ended up gaining the weight back and then some. I realized that having friends on here and being active with the site was my key to success. So, I'm back today to step off the roller coaster and on to a more structured path.
I would love to find like minded women to do this with. I know that having friends is key.

    I know that feeling, sadly. Here is to a new day!! Feel free to add me. I just recently was able to trash my fat jeans and it was bliss!

    I absolutely know how you feel because i have been up and down with my weight all my life and am so tired of it. So far this site has really motivated me. Good luck to you

    Welcome back! I have always been up and down myself. Not this time! I decided this time I'm going to make smaller changes and think long term, not the dress that I really want to wear in a month so I better put in crazy long workouts and eat like a toddler. I love the support I am able to give and receive. Good luck!!
