Wanting to live a healthier lifestyle...
Hello. My name is Amanda and I am 29 years old. A few years ago, I utilized Sparkpeople and lost over 70 pounds. I lost my motivation and fell back into old habits, regaining those 70 lbs. plus even more! I don't have any excuses. Yes, life is stressful, busy and unpredictable, but I shouldn't have let myself get back to that place. I often feel lonely, which is when I eat the most.

Hello. My name is Amanda and I am 29 years old. A few years ago, I utilized Sparkpeople and lost over 70 pounds.

Yes, life is stressful, busy and unpredictable, but I shouldn't have let myself get back to that place. I often feel lonely, which is when I eat the most.
I have recently been to an OA meeting, where you have to admit that you are POWERLESS over food. I refuse to believe I am powerless over anything, especially with God watching over and guiding me. I can do this.
I am here for another try. My weight limits me in so many ways and it would be nice to just live life the way it was meant to be lived. I am a great person, but am so afraid to let it show sometimes because I am afraid of being criticized for my weight.
I currently work full time, am married, have a 5 year old daughter and am in school (I graduate in May 2013!). Whenever I put my mind to something, I always succeed, but have such a hard time when it comes to losing weight and staying on track.
Thank you for listening and I look forward to the challenge this time around. I just need to stick to it and stop getting in my own way!
