in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone...im zee...im about 215...last time I looked...ive fallen off the wagon so to speak and im ready to
get up and catch that dang thing and get back on it!
Ive had weight issues since puberty...highs and lows....200s then 140...180..then 145..220..then 165...about 2 years ago
I was an avid walker...and I was maintaining 150...for a few years...after the death of my x to cancer and a very
close friend...I hit rock bottom...my emotional eating took over...after 6 years of not smoking...I started again and packed
on over 70 pounds in less than a year.....an old hottie/flame saw me and said...what the hell happened to you...ouchie...
well ive been 210-220 for about a year no...and let me tell you...I have the motivation of a snail looking at the Sahara
desert...I...just cant do it anymore...this isnt me....I want to walk again...I want to think about fun things...places...dressing
up and going out like I used to...now all I think of is...what is in the cabinets I can just pop in my mouth without cooking
and whats on tv....I just turned 37 about 2 weeks ago...and I dont want to be heavier than I am now at 38...I dont want
to be still trying to figure things out at this...I want to incorporate a healthier lifestyle for the long haul...I havent taken
a selfie or let anyone take a photo of me in almost 2 years....I need to do this...im really ready...anyone that would like
to add me as a friend please...feel free...I would really appreciate like minded folks in my life...I have zero support
it would really help...and id hope it would be a two way street

    You have done the first step which is coming on here for some moral support to help you achieve your goal. I too fall off the wagon and have joined MFP community today.
    I gained a lot of weight when I was left raising 4 kids alone ( he left when I was 6mth pregnant) but I also am ready to get rid of the unwanted weight and feel better about myself.
    im happy to help where I can :)
