Hippogrrlz's Journal, 14 Feb 08

Here i sit on the verge of yet another attempt at weight loss. I had given up for a while after doing this all my life. Since the age of 7 or so, when i found a note from my pediatrician, with suggestions on alternative food options. So here i sit at 51 years of age, trying again. This time it's the note from my obnoxiously thin Internist, telling me that my "weight remains very high" and now she wants me to go on insulin or lose 5 lbs a month, like NOW, that motivates me.I don't want to go on insulin unless i really have no other choice. so...here i go again. I do now how to lose weight. I have lost 80-100 lbs...twice... i am still about 70 lbs from my highest weight, so i guess thats a good thing . although this time, it will be harder to get the exercise that i did the other attempts. My knees are screaming, the one "good " knee decided it too wanted atention. so they both hurt now. how depressing is that? but i remain hopeful that as soon as i eat healthier, i will feel better. i have to keep that hope! maybe this online thing will help keep me real.I have to try, i want something different for my life. If i'm lucky i will still have 20 or more years, i want them to be good ones..so here i go...........

You are not alone.... every one of us has some deep dark issue as to why we live to eat, not eat to live. We all have the same goal, just different ways of getting there. Keep your head up as positive thinking does truly give positive results.Our weight didn't happen overnight, nor will it come off overnight. It is about changing our life, no matter what our age. We all fully support each other through the achievements and the confessions(at least we feel guilty about bad food now). We are all in this together....
