The human Yo-yo seeks friends.

Hi guys,

I find myself back on the weight loss wagon. Bigger than ever. Wondering how it happened. Knowing how it happened but secretly wishing I had some sort of thyroid issue to blame it on.
But facts are facts and I am a terrible stress eater who is sickeningly self-indulgent.
It's time I dust off my work out DVD's and evict my secret stash of Sour Patch Kids.
Watch out size eight denim blues because I AM COMING FOR YOU!
I could use some peeps who can find humor in the struggle.
My name is Dani, I'm twenty three. I have over forty pounds to lose.
I've never been consistently under a size twelve. I'm entering that stage in my life where I want to like myself and stop hating my body.
It is my hope that the road to inner peace is right around the corner, I just have to stop walking down Cheese Doodle Ave.

Welcome! I've been back on the "weight loss wagon" for about a month now and I too play the yo-yo game. Not anymore. Oh yeah, and I'm super funny. Not so much in this post, but in real life, get ready to hold your sides.

Wow... save for your age ... I almost think you wrote my life story in there. The wanting to get back into your 8s ... not being a consistently under size 12 (at the moment I have 12, 14 and 16 in my closet that all fit ... that's an ego blow right there, if you ever need one .... look, I'm a 12 ... no, wait, I'm a 16, WTF? WHO MADE UP THESE DAMN NUMBERS ANYWAY?) ... blowing the dust off the exercise DVDs ... and even the stress-eating part.

Your title, "human yo-yo" caught my attention ... So ... I'm here with you if you need a sister-in-arms. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt - in all kinds of sizes .... (What size do you need? I'm wearing my XLs at the moment, but I have M and L if you need them...)

Love your humor! Get back on the band wagon and keep at it! Feel free to add me and I'll keep you motivated with some rated PG-13 entertainment and sarcasm. lol

Hey good luck and I hope you reach your goals. I think the key is finding an exercise you enjoy rather than one you dread :-) Kundalini yoga works for me... it's challenging but it works on your mind as well as your body which I think is a big thing when you're trying to lose weight. Find something that works for you :-)

Hey! You and I are a lot alike. I can defiantly find humor in my situation to, and would love to blame it on anything other than myself, although I know the truth we have the same goals, we can help each other out

Hi Dani, welcome to MFP!! I'm 21 on the weight loss path as well and my name is Cindy. I try to be as supportive of my MFP friends as I can be and my friends do the same for me.
Feel free to add me (and anyone else that would like more support.) Good luck !

YO,

Friend me.. I am also a human yo-yo and trying very, very hard to break the cycle. In fact, all of you can friend me. The more people reading my diary at night. The better I do eating
