I have been struggling with my weight for more than 28 years ... My highest weight was last year at 280 ..... I am very proud of myself for dropping some weight 31 pounds ... somedays I feel I have so far to go ... I have thoguht about WLS but my hubby is not willing to see me go under the knife to lose weight he tells me that I am fine just how I am .... how can you not love a man like that ... but I am not happy with me I have not been happy with me in years ... I am trying to find out what is making me the way I am .. I love to eat and love to cook .. I always laugh and say you can not trust a skinny cook I would like to prove myself wrong there and be the skinny cook ... looking to make friends with anyone trying to find there way to the lighter side of life =)

    Kim,
    I tell myself every time I want something to eat that is not on my diet plan, "I will not give up what I want most of all for what I want for the moment". I think dieting is a lot like quieting smoking, the cravings come less and less the more you resist. myfitnesspal is great if you utilize it daily to calculate your calorie intake/burn. I have been using it for about a month and with strict dieting and exercise I have lost 13 pounds. Good luck:wink:
