I am new to this site. I have been heavy my whole life. I lost about 90 lbs about 15 years ago with starvation, diet pills, and lots of exercise. I was obsessed and sick. I got married and got pregnant and gained 72 lbs. That was almost 10 years ago now and another baby later and I am back to where I started. I weigh 232 now and I am miserable. I am a stay at home mom with no excuse not to exercise or eat right. My problem is ME! I don't like myself and I am becoming a hermit. My son is going on a kindergarten field trip and I am having to make myself go. My husband thinks I don't like him anymore because I hate to be intimate with him. It's not him it's ME, I hate my body and who I've become! I feel alone because no one knows how I really feel. Any advise?

Girl, We all know how you feel. We have either been there or are there right now! You need to get out of that house, make contact with some girlfriends or better yet, make new friends! Go to the grocery store, walmart, somewhere where there are people other than family members and actually speak and strike up a conversation. Make sure you go on that field trip, you would be surprise at the many different, interesting people that you will come in contact with. You are isolating yourself and this is not good. Meet people and don't just half-way look at them....make sure you speak and introduce yourself. Carry on a conversation with someone you would never ordinarily talk to. You will be surprise at how well the converstaion goes.

You are where you need to be--taking care of yourself. Just follow-through with your (healthy) goals

Awh, honey.. believe it or not, I WAS you! There was a point in my life that I didn't want to leave the house, I didn't want to see anyone, I especially didn't want to go to my kids school .. I didn't want my husband in the room when I was changing .... much less touch me, I was afraid he'd feel the fat on me. You are at that point in your life where I believe you are ready to make a change. You should be happy about that b/c when you reach this point girl ... you are about to do something about it. You are going to be motivated in a way that you never were before. You will learn to push yourself further than even you knew you could go... Go above and beyond. I am not yankin' your chain honey, you can do this! Do NOT give up or give in to temptation. Don't say "just this once" ... DON'T DO IT! You get up and plan out a recipe that you will be pleased with yet, will work on the diet ... don't eat up until bed time ... give your stomach time to know what "emptiness" feels like. You won't starve, I promise... although your stomach will growl like you are, lol. You will get in some kind of exercise in EVERYDAY ... no excuses! I will be checking in on you girl ... your husband will be chasing you around the bedroom when you are finished with this diet plan! And Away you go, lol. Good Luck! ;)
