Starting Over

Hi All - I've decided now is the time for me to start over. About 3 years ago I lost a little more than 60 lbs and have since gained 40 back. I'm scared to death that I'm going to gain it all back. My issue is that I don't know know to say no to food and never can just eat a piece, or a bite, I have to over indulge. I try to be a "body positive" type person and truly am OK with who I am and what I look like. However, I feel pain, and discomfort and cannot handle it any longer. I want to lose enough weight so the knee pain will lessen, the back pain will lessen, and of course so that I can fit into more of the clothes that I love and are not in my size.

“So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again”
Frank Sinatra


I'm looking for Friends, followers, inspirers, anything you want to call it. Please add me as your friend if you are active on MFP and you too want to gain encouragement to help you along your journey.

Thanks!
Carrie

    I'm with you! I lost almost 50 pounds 4 years ago. My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and I lost it! I started eating everything in sight. I'm now 6 pounds away from where I was when I was 9 months pregnant with fourth kiddo. I struggle with binge eating.
