in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,
I'm a little surprised I'm actually writing anything. I have done WW a few times and would just sit there. I have tried so many times to get to a healthy place in life. WW works so well for so many people and I can't put my head around it, why can't I stick to it with out getting bored? I still can't answer that question. :(
Well this morning I weighed my self and I am at the heaviest I have ever been. I cried and was so mad at myself for letting this happen. I have a sister in law who has been using this app/site for over a year and she is looking fantastic! Smarter choices and healthy living is what I need.
My weakness...I am a manager of a pizza franchise! I not only need friends on here but any ideas that would help me not feel the need to pick at things all day would be great! Thanks for reading :)

    Hey that stinks no one replied!! Well you can do this and we are here to support you!! Wow, so you're around pizza a lot? Have you gotten sick of it yet? I'd say if its a hindrance to you to see if you can look into something else as that's pretty challenging!
    :) keep goin and don't look back.

    Just small steps will help! I'm sorry you cried when you weighed yourself... It is so hard. Do you like to workout? Do you have some activities you enjoy that are active-ish? I have found a workout that I actually look forward to... it has helped so much! However, I know being around pizza all he time would be hard for me!!!
    Good for you to try! Best of luck in your journey.

    Hi, I began on 1/7/2013 after having reached a high (low) of 219. I am now at 185 having reduced my caloric intake and reducing the amount of processed foods I intake. I have a 10 year old and it's exciting to see how he is 'thinking' about his food choices now. I'm sorry we missed one another last month and hope you are still on here.

    Hi, I work in a kitchen too and am around food all day. It can be tough not to graze. If you want any hints on how I handle this. We could be friends. :)

    Hi! We have the same cry fest in common! Mine was in June when my son took a picture of me for our anniversary. I started getting serious with MFP after that and lost 14 lbs as of today! I can not believe it really. If I can do this girl...you can too! What I needed was the community. I knew all the right stuff to do...just couldn't seem to do it on my own.

    You can totally do this. I also work in food service...a new job after being at home with kids for 15 years! I just started my job last Monday so learning to pack my lunch and eat only healthy choices at work...I'm also starting to set goals...instead of sliding heaving things to move them lift them etc. Get the most exercise out of what I can while I'm on the job and kinda getting paid for it!

    You can do this...it's a one day at a time thing.

    The tortoise wins the race!

    Feel free to friend me!
    Welcome and feel free to friend me!

    Blessings,
    Carla
