(damn I'm not hungry anymore) then ate his of course... that day I tossed my hot dog in the trash with my head down low in shame right there in front of him... now I am 130 lighter... wonder to this day if that *kitten* found my 130lbs!!

    Tried everything, finally went to a 12 step meeting. After the meeting I went to Noodles and ate more calories than I currently eat in a day. I decided the next day would be 3 meals nothing in between. Found MFP a month later. Still go to those meetings. I was down 200 at one point, now I'm 266 and headed back to onderland.

    I couldn't fit into my older cloth. I ignored it. I lost all my stamina. I ignored it. I started to have knee and back pain. I ignored it. My 2 year old boy cried when I had constant headache. I started my journey.

    Back in May I found all my evenings of binge eating was making me sick. Fat and bread products were giving me pain and nausea dispute having my gallbladder out 2 yrs previously. With high blood pressure and at 18 stone 4lb I realised it wasn't good. Anyway I'm now 38lb lighter and feel more energetic. Bp is now normal and I'm well on my way to being healthier. Btw my fitness pal is brilliant!

    I have never been a small person ever since i can remenber however i have been healthier and fitter. I was at a similar,weight to this once in my life approximately 300 lbs over 16 years ago after having 2 kids and swore when I went on a,diet that I would never let myself get back there lost 65 lbs and kept it off for years. Then I slowly started to creep back up in weight. Change of jobs,and,fields of employment led to more, inactivity as I now hold strictly a desk job. And this desk job is not my best friend when it comes to keeping my weight down. At least my previous,jobs I used,to get exercise in the,form of walking around as part of my work. Ate,huge meals at suppertime skipped breakfast all the time and didn' t eat very healthy lots of processed foods and carbs.
    Then I found myself about to have to go up a,size for the third time in as many years! I finally said absolutely NOT going to happen! I Bought a scale, signed up for the fitness center at the building I Work in and have been going 4 times per week 60 minutes minimum of being active and moving. Watching what I eat now like a hawk.Cutting way down on sugar, carbs and eating way more green leafy veggies drinking water etc....
    My journey has started ..... I am a work in progress working on getting healthier and fitter each day!
