Finally ready to lose and feel good!


I am a busy law student and eat everything not nailed down when stressed, happy, mad, glad, or sad. Basically, I eat my feelings - plus, I just generally *love* food. It has always been my comfort. I have always been overweight and usually have the attitude that if you don't like me for my weight then to hell with you - but, it is time to change for myself. I am tired of being overweight. I want to go to an amusement park and not fear being too fat to get on the roller coasters or worry that ...
I am a busy law student and eat everything not nailed down when stressed, happy, mad, glad, or sad. Basically, I eat my feelings - plus, I just generally *love* food. It has always been my comfort. I have always been overweight and usually have the attitude that if you don't like me for my weight then to hell with you - but, it is time to change for myself. I am tired of being overweight. I want to go to an amusement park and not fear being too fat to get on the roller coasters or worry that when I take my towel off at the beach everyone is thinking 'oh look, it is a whale!' I also have trouble sleeping and they say weight effects that, so it is time!

I recently broke my foot, so I think that has helped motivate me a great deal. Hard to heal with this much weight on it...

I would love to meet others with the same goals in mind and who can be supportive and understanding.

Member Since: 1/9/2009

My Goals:
I would like to lose 150 pounds and be able to run a mile without feeling like I am going to die!

My Program:
 Right now I am just going to try to watch what I eat and make time to workout at least 3 times a week. As well as log my food intake.

    Heya! I don't remember which side of town you're on, but I wanted to let you know that I signed up for an emotional eating course with St. Francis here on the south side. It's $50 for six weeks, and it's pretty in-depth. I'm hoping it'll help me change some habits! We've "posted" to each other before about emotional eating, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up!

    Well, I've been going to Curves three mornings a week, but that's on hold while I get physical therapy for my shoulder. Don't want to hurt it while I'm trying to fix it! Maybe I'll go for some morning walks. I don't know. I haven't thought through that very well yet. lol

    As for eating, I'm just going to keep track and try to stay within my range. Even if I'm not trying super hard overall, I just do better when I'm keeping track. So I need to get in that habit and then I'll figure out what I'm supposed to eat.

    And I'm not busy enough to forget to eat. Don't I wish! I'm a terrible housekeeper. I play with my son and watch movies most days. Very inactive. Once he starts moving, though, I'm sure I'll have to keep up. Makes me nervous! I need to get rid of this chunk so I can chase him! :)

    I fell off, too. Boo to me. But today I'm getting back on track! I watched a show called "Too Fat for 15" with a 426 pound girl who ate to feel better. I eat to feel better. I don't want to be 426 pounds. I have been watching myself get fatter over the past month or so, and I don't want that. Well, mostly I want my clothes to fit. Getting fat is expensive! lol Can't buy a whole new wardrobe just because I want to eat an entire box of ice cream sandwiches one day. Need a change! Making it today!

    How about you? :)

    Ohhh, Girl Scout cookies. Wherefore art thou evil? Meijer makes generic versions of Tagalongs and Samoas. Pretty tasty. I usually ask my husband to hide yummy things for me, and then I ask him for a cookie allowance. lol Silly, but then I can have something without going nuts. Sometimes I try to look for them when he's not home. Bad news!

    I've been trying not to eat out altogether. I'm known for stopping at fast food joints whenever I'm out and then eating it in the car before I get home so I can hide the evidence. I'm a food sneaker, which is embarassing and sad. When I joined SparkPeople, I gave my husband my secret stash of truffles I had hiding in one of my drawers. I was already down to the yucky ones, anyway. lol It's even hard not lying when I keep track of my food on here. I'm trying to be good and record everything, but I feel embarassed if I go over my calories. I guess the only person I'm really cheating is myself. And, heck, even if I do eat 1800 calories in a day instead of 1200-1550, it's still fewer calories than I was eating before! There were probably more than 1800 calories in each of those Reese's bags!

    I'm on the south side of Indy. And the cow belongs to my aunt-in-law. My husband's aunt and uncle are dairy farmers down...somewhere. Gosport, I think? Some podunk town that's mostly fields and farms. They had a few pens with baby cows. The lousy thing is that I thought I looked really cute that day, and then I saw those pictures and thought, "Wait, which one's the heifer in this picture?" Blecch.

    OK, time for bed. Check in soon!

    Hey just wanted to drop by and see how it is going? I have been doing great actually, I have my weaknesses but I am learning ways to get around them. I tell you what though, sometimes friends can be the worst when it comes to dieting, you "let's eat out here, or let's get pizza" I have restricted myself to eating out once or twice a week. And last week when I did eat out, my stomach felt awful for the rest of the day, it's funny how your body gets used to healthy foods.
    Anyways, hope all is well! Good luck in your journey!!!
