LOSING IT.... seriously. :|

Options
Hi ya'll. I'm a 30 something wife and work at home mother of 2. I always thought life kept me busy enough to also keep me fit and somehow I've walked around with a reverse type of body dysmorphic disorder where I see myself looking better than I actually do. Every day (when another craving attacks me) I remind myself that NOTHING tastes as good as skinny/ healthy feels.

I'd love to be friends with you if you're looking to lose it too. No debbie-downers. Sense of humor a must. This is the end of my personals ad. ;)

    I've lost and gained and lost and gained again my whole life..a Yo Yo of 10 lbs...not much, but it affected my later life in a quick heart attack that I am now struggling to stay away from in the future!! Fortunately, I can still run and jump with my grandchildren who are now 2 years and 5 months...TOTAL GIFTS of precious life that I thought I would never experience, since my daughter took me at my word when I told her enjoy her life to the fullest. After she has traveled and lived in different areas of the the Western World..she found, ane fell in love with the father of her children..and now she makes the best Mom...and I am a Grandma now. She studied is a Nurse...and between Mom and Dad...I get to take care of my Grandbabies a few days a week...SO FUN! NOW...I want to lose the stubborn FAT that has held on all my adult life, and I found MFP. I will SUPPORT you and encourage you to lose...and looking for the same! I, too, want this SERIOUSLY (big smile)...I am always looking for SERIOUS Pals to share the Journey!! Add me if you like!!! Good Luck in your Journey! Hehehe...I am a Debbie...BUT CERTAINLY NOT A DOWNER...LOL...

    Hello, just added you! I'm a 40 year old mother of 3. None of my kids are fat. my husband is tall and lean. I'm the only fat one in the house, and tired of it! Even though I don't look as fat/heavy as I actually am. Anyone feel free to add me!

    I think i'm officially "that fat".
    I recall telling my husband early in our marriage "if I ever get 'that fat', please tell me, okay?" And he has.... gently, nervously even. I'm thankful.

    I'm a daily poster too!

    Thank you!!!
    Pictures (or sometimes lack of pictures) of your whole body can help to show you how you REALLY look.
    For me, one too many sweet honest little children told me i have a Big Butt. Yeah...major wake up call.

    Let's agree... When your mom offers to send you some of her clothes... It IS THAT BAD!!
