Hi everyone

I'm new here. 

Just started looking around today.  I've been wishing for a while that I could talk about the issues I face with people who will understand. 

 

About me: I'm 30 years old, about 90 lbs overweight, married for a little over a year now.  Was just put on blood pressure meds which, even though high blood pressure runs in my family so I *could* blame genetics, really woke me up.  I don't want to depend on meds, especially this early in life.

 

I've lost and gained and lost more times than I can count! Weight is always forefront in my mind...well, right behind food, of course.  I know you've heard it all before.  Daydreaming about future meals, eating more than one breakfast/lunch/dinner depending on who I'm with at the time, sneaking food...there is just so much shame.

 

I know that I need to break through the cycle and stop abusing myself.  I want to be around for my husband.  I want reach a point in my life where I'm no longer coping with fuzziness and fatigue and mood swings every day.  I need to live life!

 

I'm happy to have found all of you and I hope to get to know you!

Hi

Boy can I relate to your post. I just found out I have coronary artery disease. Since I am 100 pounds overweight, with a 14 year old and a 5 year old, I needed to get serious. So...I am using Fitday.com to record my weight and food. I am walking (if you don't sweat it doesn't count) and doing the WiiFit. After 2 weeks, I am down 6.5 pounds (Dr.'s scale both times)

We can do this together.
