Overcoming the Challenge!

Hi I'm Laurie! I have been struggling with my weight my entire life. I was a figure skater growing up so I was always exercising but I guess that just wasn't enough for me. Last year I joined an adult Theater on Ice skating team, Imagica, and I have found alot of motivation to lose weight to fit into costumes.

GOOD LUCK to everyone!

I have lost quite a bit weight on this journey so far. I have made many changes in my life, but I'm not quiet to where I need to be. I have addeded exercise to my schedule at least 5 days a week trying for 7 and I eat way more fruits and vegetable.

I know the problems I have. I know I eat when I'm bored, I eat when I'm depressed, I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I just feel like it. I need to change my relationship with food. I need to be in charge. It's very scary to think about how much I think about food. I sit at a desk all day doing boring tedious work and when I get spacey, I find I'm thinking about what I want to eat. It doesn't help that all the boys in the office start talking about lunch at 9am.

I can admit my problems. I can admit that I almost think of this as a disease. I need to get food off my mind. I am now trying to think about crafting and doing something better with my future. Things I can do to keep my hands from going into the kitchen looking for something to do.

I have come so far with SparkPeople and I know that this team of people who are all having the same issues and challenges with their lives are going to be what gets me to my goal. I do appreciate SparkPeople and am so thrilled to have brought this into my life.

Thank you SparkPeople and all of my Sparkfriends who support me when I'm down and push me to get where I want to go! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Yep iused to skate and very active used to be 95 pounds(too skinny) until I had cancer and chemo. I got neuropathy in my legs and feet from the chemo. I have constant pain that is like a constant shin splints. So not sure if the legs can handle it. It is so much fun I'm glad to hear that you got back into doing it !

Portion control sucks but I have to do it or I'd be 50 pounds heavier again. I make myself stop at half the plate when I go out. I only finish the whole plate if it's something really light.

Thank you for the comment on my blog. I'm doing to ask my workmans comp dr tomorrow morning if the meds he has me on may be the culprit. I decided to stick with what I have been doing as I am just exhausted and nothing else at this point.
