Hello everyone! Like all of you, I too have lost lots of weight just to gain it back. Two years ago, I lost 95 pounds and have gained much of it back. There are a whole lot of reasons (excuses) for why it happened -- pelvic and lower abdominal nerve damage, chronic pain, failed IVF and loads of fertility meds, etc. But I think what it truly came down to for me was that I went straight to denial land and thought -- oh, no biggie, I will just eat what I want today and work harder tomorrow. And then tomorrow never comes until you get a reality check slap across the face and realize it is time to embrace today. I have devoted myself back to my health lifestyle. I use the Richard Simmons Food Mover (keeps me accountable and it is easier for me than journalling), and alternate cardio with my Fluidity Bar (which I love since my exercise is so limited die to my nerve damage). I started today and I already slipped up and ate 1 serving (yes, measured out) of cookie dough icecream. I need to succeed with this because I am planning to start trying to get pregnant again and I want to be healthy for my child(ren). I know I should wait until I am down to my "ideal weight" before considering such things, but my doctors (including my fertility specialist) say I am fine where I am but every pound I lose makes it even better as long as I don't do the yo-yo thing or anything bad for me. So, I am committing myself to this new lifestyle 100%. No more yo-yo. No more fad diets. No more starving myself or being unhealthy. Time to get back to basics and do what I know needs to be done. After all, I feel that I was the one who put the food in my mouth so now it is my job to burn it all off. So, that is a little about me. I look forward to getting to know all of you and being part of such a positive and supportive environment. Believe me, I can use all the help I can get! Kelly |
I love to walk but it takes a lot these days to even do that-any support out there?
