I completely understand how you feel. And those extra bites seriously add up! I know for me I feel so full of shame and disgusted with myself afterwards I can't understand why I keep doing it! It's all a state of mind that we just have to change. It really is only ourselves that suffer. I support you and understand you…

Thank you!! Like I said, I have a really good chance of snapping back from this so young! Why wait until I'm older or more sick?! My body is in seriously rough shape but I am otherwise healthy and able and should be so very grateful and take advantage of it! I appreciate your encouragement!
-
I am glad to hear it works! I just made my Diary private for the same reason, I want to be held accountable for what I do. No more sneaking around! Because honestly, it's pretty darn obvious what I've done to my body!
-
Those are things I need to work on as well! I am grateful that I am realizing this now at only 20 years old. But in your case, don't belittle what a great step this is! Truly it is better late than never! I support you 100%! We can all do this!

You are so very brave! For owning and admitting your actions and even more brave for doing something about them! Thank you! I have a feeling these first few weeks of learning to say "No.", to all my urges will be hard but as you said...time will make it easier...and seeing the pounds drop won't hurt either! Thank you so…
-
Thank you for the encouragement! I love seeing that you achieving your goals, makes mine feel a little more possible as well! Thank you!❤

Yes! I have seen a lot of people who want to tone up for summer or get a little leaner...UM I need a body overhaul! Definitely a totally different mindset and struggle. Count me in, I have no idea what I'm doing, I just know something has got to give!
-
Yes the pain is a major issue, it's excruciating at times! I'm happy you got relief! If you could over come an eating disorder, you can over come this too, I have the utmost belief in you! I know it is no easy task though and much easier said than done so I too am here for you through your journey! I am an emotional eater…

Yes, I feel like you may be right. I know Mirena and other hormonal BC is wonderful for some but I think, as you said, that I am just quite sensitive to such changes. Along with the weight is the emotional issues as well for sure. Either way, it is not a good fit for me at all so it is being removed pronto! Hopefully that…

This is my story exactly!!! Finally someone who gets it! I've left it in for nearly 4 years because it really was just a convenient option but I can't let myself suffer anymore. I've made 3 different appointments over the years to have it removed and never went to any of them but I have an appointment 3 days from now and…

Hi! Thank you! I appreciate hearing from someone who also understands the havoc hormonal alterations like birth control can cause. I feel like people always say it'sjust an excuse. But it really destructed my body. The extra weight I take full responsibility for after I turned to emotional eating. You are so right about it…

Haha! You are so very right...even a walk is better than nothing! Baby steps right? Thank you for this, I love the idea of a good trail walk...maybe I can even work up to a jog out there by myself!

For me, Mirena started the weight gain BIG time for me. After those first 30lbs though...the responsibilty is mine alone. And again, all my excuses are just that, excuses. I was just explaining wjat goes through my head whenever I start to make a change. And as for my boyfriend, It's not that he is unsuportive. It's that…
-
No I think it makes perfect sense! For me, seeing how long it's been since I tried, seeing how I've actually GAINED weight since I last used this...it was so discouraging and a negative reminder of past failures basically. It felt like a bad start. So starting fresh makes me feel like it's possible. But that's just me!
-
Love hearing success! I definitely agree that excersize is key. For me, I was raised vegetarian but began eating meat when I met my boyfriend, I also have serious gluten/wheat intolerance that I ignore. I think if I eliminated meat and gluten from my diet again, that alone will create a big change. And I will start…
-
Truly, I would love any support. I KNOW there would be mental relief if I felt better physically! My struggle is just sticking to this. Definitely easier with others pushing me, thank you!
-
I'm right with you. I am only 5'3" and nearly 260 lbs...but my first goal is to get to 199 lbs and go from there. I have terrible acid reflux but no known other health issues...which is honestly because I've been avoiding going to a doctor. I just erased my old profile here and started fresh so hopefully I can stick to it…
