Needing motivation...

December 2009, I surpassed my goal weight. I was down to 113lbs. I loved my body and was so proud of my accomplishment. I got rid of all my 'fat' clothes and treated myself to a new wardrobe. I had worked so hard...

A year later, I have ballooned to 130lbs. I had my heart broken several times by the same man. I had friends and family beat me down. Many sports injuries and pain. A lot of disappointments. I truly felt worthless and ugly...so I made myself just that. I turned to food ...

A year later, I have ballooned to 130lbs. I had my heart broken several times by the same man. I had friends and family beat me down. Many sports injuries and pain. A lot of disappointments. I truly felt worthless and ugly...so I made myself just that. I turned to food for happiness, but that only leads to guilt and then more eating. It's a vicious cycle.

I wish I could control my behaviour. As I try to lose weight again, I first have to get back to that fun-loving person I was...someone who loved being active and healthy. In a new province, with not many friends, no money, and starting school all over again, the stress isn't helping...

I hope I can do this, but I need some help.

My Goals:
I'd like to remember why I enjoyed being active, to drop the excess weight, tone up, feel confident, and learn to protect my injuries to live life better.

My Program:
I would like to actually attend swim practices 2-3 times a week, get back into yoga and going to the gym, and explore my 'new' surroundings by hiking the hills.

Hey, EmeraldKate! Welcome to the Swimming for Cardio team. I am always happy to meet other synchro swimmers. I did Master's synchro for several years, and before that while I was in school. Now I am doing Master's lap swimming several times a week. Welcome to the team!

Hi- Welcome to the EE team! Great place for support, and encouragement, and a place to vent if you need to!

10 Positive Assumptions

1) I will make and keep my commitments.

2) I will find the right people who can help me.

3) I will look for an answer in every problem.

4) I will give up trying and simply do.

5) I will make it okay to be wrong and make mistakes.

6) I will create my own good luck.

7) I will not be afraid to lose before I win.

8 ) I will do it now!

9) I will be who I am and become what I was meant to be.

10) I will accept that all things are possible.

I’ve belonged to a lot of teams here on spark-- i really do believe that the Emotional Eaters team is one of the very best, it’s a great group of people- very supportive and encouraging-- and it is very refreshing to talk with people who "get" what you're going through!! ¸¸.•¨¸♥¨`*,¸.•*´¨`*• .¸♥.*¸.•´¸.•*¨¸.•*¨¸.•´¸.•*¨) ¸.•*¨)
Check out the main page of the EE team- there are “stickied” topics you may be interested in to get involved- a buddy thread, a place to introduce yourself, weigh-in challenge, a birthday post. ¸.•*¨¸.•´¸.•*¨(¸.•´ (¸.•´ (¸.•´¸¸.•¨¸♥¨`*,¸.•*´¨`*• .¸♥. ¸.•♥´ .•´¨¨ ¸´¸.•´¸.•*¨)¸¸.•´ ..•-~'¸.•*¨)
Spark has a lot of great tools, and you will learn which ones work best for you. The best tools are the people tho, always willing to lend a hand, an ear, or a shoulder. I’ve been here for over a year now, and I still am overwhelmed, every day, by the kindness and goodness of others on this team!! That has made a world of difference for me. I hope you have the same success! ¸¸.•¨¸♥¨`*,¸.•*´¨`*• .¸♥.*.•*¨¸.•´¸.•*
