my journey

I know what you mean, I'm at 261 & this is my highest & its very depressing. I Just started having health issues last november. & thats what really making me think a little bit harder about ME & what I want out of life. do I want to sit on the couch & do nothing for the rest of my life (at 50) or do i want to spend more time doing things with my family & friends. WE have to make that decision & I dont know about you but this is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do because I love all kinds of food & HATE exersizing. keep in touch Kathy

Good for you to focus on what you want...the energy to walk with your kids. Take some time to make of list of all the positive things you will achieve by watching what you eat rather than focusing on losing weight. Thinking in a positive way will attract those things into your life...the weight will take care of itself.

Hi, I hope it's ok to comment on your post - it just popped up somewhere as I was browsing the site. I'm new here, but I've been struggling with my weight since I was a tween and with obesity for longer than I can remember. I think it's really awesome that you want o lose weight to be able to spend more time actively engaged with your family, especially your children. I know how hard it is to take the long-term view of things when your confronted with temptation or a lifetime of not so great eating habits, so I wish you the best of luck! Just know that you're not the only one struggling with fears and anxiety...
