My Life Changing Events...
Hello ... I'm Kris.
My story is that I used food to ease my stress & boredom. And would eat just for the taste , even if I was full. So over the years I got bigger and bigger.
And it didn't help that my husband would make remarks about calling Jenny Craig or putting up articles from fitness magazines.
I wasn't motivated and sank deeper into depression & tried to eat myself happy.
I didn't really know how much I had used food as my crutch until this ...
Hello ... I'm Kris.
My story is that I used food to ease my stress & boredom. And would eat just for the taste , even if I was full. So over the years I got bigger and bigger.
And it didn't help that my husband would make remarks about calling Jenny Craig or putting up articles from fitness magazines.
I wasn't motivated and sank deeper into depression & tried to eat myself happy.
I didn't really know how much I had used food as my crutch until this past Christmas when family pictures were taken.. ( I avoided being in pictures for many years)...I was shocked at how big I had gotten.
So I made a decision to change my life & lose the weight.
I GOT UP...GOT OUT...& GOT MOVING !!
Now instead of sleeping all day or vegging in front of the TV I go to the gym Monday - Friday.
And I have a walking buddy,when weather permits we walk 2-5 miles every day.
I do take a prescription called Adipex. It boosts my metabolism & gives me more energy. But it is not for everyone and I am not promoting weight loss medication...I'm just listing it as one of the "helping aids" in my weight loss.
I am happy to be a part of the Spark People Community.
And want you to know your not alone. There are people out here who care and want to help!
And remember it's not a "Diet"...it's a "LIFESTYLE CHANGE!!"
So what are you waiting for ?
GET UP .....GET OUT.....AND GET MOVING !!
