Hello Ladies!
I just wanted to introduce myself...I am considered "obese", I have been married for two years and due to the stress of my husband's illness and other factors I have gained 50 pounds since we have met!!!!!! I am not very tall so it is totally obvious and really distressing. I have gotten to the point where I just feel very unhealthy. My brother and I decided to start working out/eating right about a month ago...and I have lost 4 pounds...not very encouraging...although I know it is progress.
We just completed our first week of P90X...and I really feel strong but I am struggling with keeping my diet in check. Food has always been an issue with me and although I have never been diagnosed with any type of eating disorder...I do binge when I am stressed.
I want a child very much but I want to avoid any health problems due to my weight gain so I am trying to peel off fifty pounds (or to do whatever to get my body fat percentage back to normal). I have always been heavier than other girls...but when I met my husband my body fat was in a healthy range (despite my BMI telling me I was overweight).
Does anyone else feel envious of those skinny girls that eat whatever they want?
Does anyone else feel so angry at themselves for letting themselves go?
ACK!!!!
Here's to sucess!!!!!!
