I currently weigh 133 lbs. My goal weight is to be around 105-110. I would really just like to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm not sure if losing weight will help me accomplish this, but it's worth a shot. I have been struggling with my weight all my life. My mom and sister both have had the gastric bypass surgery. My other sister is waiting to get the surgery as well. So as you can see I come from an over weight family.
I have lost 72 lbs since Jan of 2005. I actually lost more but I have regained some. So today is a new day. I'm starting fresh. I would like to be at my goal this summer. So that is 23-28 lbs I would need to lose in the next 5 months or so. Very realistic I think.
I would love to change how I think about food. To actually realize that food is fuel for the body and not an anti depressant. I plan on eating healthier and sticking with it. I want it to be a permanent change for me. I also plan on going to the gym as soon as I get over the fear of working out around other people. I need to work on that. Yes, I think people are looking at me, the fat sweaty cow.
I really like this site, it has a lot of great information so I have come here for my motivation, cause I don't get it from my husband. I think he just makes it worse. He is supportive some times but other times he just kills more of my self esteem. Right now he is seeing a Dr about his violence, so hopefully things will get better around here. I know he has problems cause he's in the military and he just takes it out on me. It's very stressfull on him. So anyways, hopefully this site will give me the motivation and support that I need.
I think my goal is realistic and I plan on starting today. So I am going to be positive and say this summer I will be at my goal weight. I wil not let anything get in my way.
