i have actually had problems with eating for most of my life. so my main goal is really just to be healthy again...like i was a bout 5 years ago. in my sophomore year of highschool i became anorexic. i weighed 130 lbs and was very athletic but for some reason i thought i was fat. at 5 foot 6 i dropped down to 92 lbs. it took me a little over a year to get back to a healthy weight but i never fully recovered. i actually did a complete 180. i got so used to having to eat everything to gain weight that i couldnt stop. then i began to get depressed about all of the weight i was forced to gain. so like many people i ate to subdue my depression. it has continued for about 2 years now. now i am bigger than i ever was or ever wanted to be so im doing this because im sick of being unhealthy. for me this isnt just about losing weight but about changing the way i think about food and my body.0

for me i think its been a security blanket.... had a really bad break up with someone i loved more than anything!!! I would have done anything for this guy... except put up with his cheating!!!!! sooo when i kicked him out I told myself no one was gonna hurt me and my kids again... i completely focused on my kids and nothing else and the weight just started packing on!!! 100 pounds fatter and 4 YEARS later!!!! at 273 my heaviest, I felt like crap about myself .... well in January i took a train to go visit some family and when i could barely fit my fat *kitten* in the seat a huge bright light came on in my head.... omg what am i doing to myself????? What good am i to my kids like this????? everything for the kids really???? ..... anyways here i am!! not perfect in anyway still have lots to go but im now 229 and i am starting to feel really good in my skin!!! i had S-E-X for the first time in 4 and a half years on friday!!! and i feel omg so awesome about myself!!!:blushing: I still have lots to go but i am a sexy pretty woman and i deserve all of this!!!! its not just for my kids.... this is for me!!!!
I put a picture of me on the train with my son in my profile.... omg i look at that picture and its scares me.... the pic in my profile of me with the white shirt is my now picture.... 45 pounds makes a huge difference!!!0 -
I have three beautiful children who I want to role model good behavior to...proper eating and exercise. If I don't do it now and stay with it they will follow in my foot steps, the wrong ones.
I want to be healthy and live a long and happy life with my hubby who has always made me feel like I am the prettiest woman in the room from size 7 (when we met) to size 16.(just 6 months ago)
And now, I want to be able to ask my 12 year old daughter if I can borrow a pair of her jeans!! And I finally am!! Hello size 8!!!0 -
I am NOT one who looks very good overweight. Add weight to my large and manly bone structure and watch the kids scatter and run in fright.:laugh:
I've never had a great body image and suffered severe anorexia & bulemia in my teens years when I competed in pagents. Not like it was worth it...I never won more than a few.:grumble:
I gained 80 lbs with my son (curse you Snicker bars) and from there had severely high blood pressure. Because of my weight, I stopped being active and playing sports and realized I was missing out on some of the best things in life.
So here I am...almost to my goal weight...and am truly experiencing some of the best years ever. .:happy:0 -
..and am truly experiencing some of the best years in my whole life.:happy:
Because of me, huh?? :blushing:0 -

Hmmmm...well, I lost a lot of weight about two years ago, I just got tired of how I looked and felt. I started just by paying attention to what I was eating, and then I started at Curves. The weight just seemed to melt off. I felt good-and I looked good:bigsmile: I was never one to draw any attention from my looks-not the good kind anyway. I liked that I was turning heads and getting compliments:blushing: I felt really good about myself! THEN-my hubby says-let's have another baby! :noway: I thought he was CRAZY!!! Well, we had number three, and now I'm ready to feel good about myself again. I have three kids to keep up with, lots of students to keep up with and I just want to look good in my skinny clothes again!!0

I typed this whole big story about my life and I lost it by accident!!! :explode:
I'm too darn lazy to type it over again so....I want to lose it cuz I want women to call me a beyotch when I walk by (cuz I'm so darn hot) and I want my girls to learn that eating healthy and exercising is part of a normal lifestyle.
That's it.

I woke up one day and realized that I was the same weight as when I delivered my 11lb daughter. :grumble: Two months later I had surpassed that. The final straw was when 4 strangers in a week asked when my baby was due ...my youngest is 5. Sooooo...ultimately I wanna be drop dead, traffic-stoppin, smmmmmmmokin hot. :blushing: Oh yea and healthy too.:laugh:0

Why???
health, blood pressure and all the others I will have if I do not do something..
I want to sit in chairs and fit....
I want to shop in a regular store!
I want to fly on a plane, and use ONE seat!
I want to be sexy to my husband..
I really do not want my 2 year old to eat like me and grow up with a weight problem, I waited all my life to have her, she will be an only child and she deserves the best from me!
I need to be a positive roll model!
and truth be known, the side effect of being smokin hot when the weight is gone, is really cool too!
