Hello,

I'm scared. I'm scared because in the past attempts, I never made it. I would stress and become overwhelmed by something and the temptation to give in was just so great, I caved.

2 weeks ago I had lower back pains and I was scared to death of possible diabetic kidney failure. It happened to my uncle...and I've been living the past 2 years suspecting I'm diabetic without ever going to the doctor. Well, I ended up going. Thank God it isn't diabetes, but I have scoliosis and my lower spine is twisted. And it's because of my weight...I'm only 5'5 and weight 351lbs..60lb's of that was added on quite recently. My health is so bad that it is desperate that I fix this. I am investing $580 a month with rehab chiropractor appointments and gym memberships fees. I have to lose it this time...my life depends on it.

If anyone else has been in a dire situation, feel free to add me. Or if you want to just offer me encouragement. I know God has plans for me. I'm scared...but I have the Hope of the Morning.

    Dear
    You took the big step but how about removing all negative words out of your sentence and gradually will fade from ur mind .I promise you this one .100 % WORKS

    Let me give u example Instead of saying "I have/Must to diet otherwise This bad thing will happen to me ". Try to say "I am making right decision I am in control of my life Slowly but surly I will get there .


    Please treat your body and soul with respect and kindness. let go all ur worries and negative thoughts and you will see the result
    Take care

    Hope,

    I am here I know how hard it is, but I will not pretend that I know your struggle. When you are younger things tend to sum so much easier to accomplish, but after awhile it becomes a constant. The fact that you are willing to admit your feasts and frustrations is a first step because you are not afraid to state that you need help. I am struggling myself like crazy I told myself that I would never allow my numbers to creep back up on me, but my pants to start tighten up to a point that I could no longer get in them, but guess where I'm at today. A lot for comes from finally back working. I was outta work fur 2 1/2 years so of course I had a lot of time on my hands, but I've finally started working and this just so happens to be a sit down job. I try to remember to do chair exercises, I try to get up and walk as much as possible but since I answer phones I can't do that because I need to be available at my desk. I don't want to not eat at work because I'm sitting all day, but sometimes I'm scared to eat because I feel that if I do one day I may have issues getting in and out of my chair. Today I had an awakening though. Knowing how competitive I am with working out, we just finished a weight loss challenge that started back at the end of September. Not only did I not lose weight I gained three pounds.. Life has a tendency to get in the way, but that's when I really had to realize that it's not about the competition, but the lifestyle change for the better. I am def here if you need a friend, because we can help push each other to keep going..
