Update: Well friends today marks day 90 of this amazing life long journey. It has not been easy in fact, it has been an emotional roller coaster. All I can say is I do not even feel like me, I am a new me and I feel more amazing than i have in my whole life. I have worked my *kitten* off exercising and watched every single thing i have put in my mouth for the past three months. I have also been smoke free as well as alcohol free for 90 days. I dont know how the heck I did it honestly all at the same time but I guess failing just was not an option anymore. I have gone from only being able to jog for 45 seconds max before my asthma would kick in to running five miles non-stop. I used to be the person that would spend hours looking at inspirational videos or pictures of people to try and get inspired and now, it is my turn to inspire. Please feel free to add me, I will help in whatever way I can to motivate you to have this wonderful amazing feeling. You deserve it, you ARE good enough Thanks for looking!

Ok so recently I hit my breaking poing with how I was feeling about myself and my eating habits were out of control. I knew that eating helathy and exercising alone was not going to help me because I felt like I have been trying my whole life. Knowing that my overeating was linked to my emotions I decided I was going to get all the help I could get and that once I was open and accepted that I had a problem it would be easier to deal with things.
So started going to overeaters anonymous, seeing a therapist, a nutrionist, counting every single thing I ate, planned every meal and snack the night before and started working out three times a week. In the last couple weeks I have increased my workouts and I do not eat all of my exercise cals back but most of them.
I have cut out refined sugar by about 95%, stopped drinking, eat whole grains proteins and try to only eat healthy carbs. All I can say is why didn't I try this sooner.
Some people (including me) fail and try and fail and try and for me I knew I needed more and I needed professional help.
It is kind of rediculous but in one month I have dropped 28 lbs. I feel incredible! I know I will start to plateau at any day but I am not worried about it I just have to take it one day at a time.
I think the most shocking part for me was realizing how much I was actually eating before to keep me at this weight and continue to gain.
I feel like I dont have to hide anymore and everyday I wake up with a smile on my face, I don't cry all the time feeling sorry for myself and I am actually happy. This is only the beginning of an amazing journey and I can only say it is so worth it but the it is your decision you have to want it.
Thanks for listening

Congratulations, you are an inspiration to so many people. I obviously don't know you, but just reading what you wrote, it seems like you are in such a good, positive place mentally and emotionally! All the best with everything and I look forward to seeing your next update0

Wow! You look AMAZING! Great job. Can I ask...do you eat the calories you burn off with exercise? Know what I mean? If you eat 1200 calories a day and burn off 300 with exercise, do you eat the 300 back? This confuses me.
You really inspire me to today.0 -
Awesome! You should be really proud of yourself!0

You really inspire me to today.
Everyone has their opinion on what they do. I only eat maybe 2-300 of the calories i burned back. Sometimes I will eat more some times I wont eat any. I switch it up a lot but honestly it all depends on how you feel. If you feel light headed after a workout then you probably are not eating enough. If you feel great then your fine. I eat every two hours. I stopped posting everything I ate because I am in control now but I will start logging again to show anyone interested0 -
woohooo!! Way to go!!0

Well hot damn!~ You're amazing!0

Congrats. I really like the fact that you went to a nutritionist and a therapist. I think those are two very under utilized tools.0
