Re: Hello

When I was on Weight Watchers a few years back (need to again) I took a baaaaaaaaadd picture of my self, at my heavest and no make up baaaaaadd. I hung it on the fridge and a copy in the bathroom. It helped me stay focused on losing the weight. Always, PS. getting the camera out again to take another baaaadd pic, I started Weight Watchersyesterday again, gotta loose 60 at least!!! Soda (pepsi) is my craving so Im right there with ya. Always, Tammy in Texas <tamatha_txyahoo (DOT) com> wrote:

Long time no email from me! Thought I would say hello in case you all thought I had fallen off the edge of the earth! I couldn't find the edge, so I just turned around and came home.

Well, my weight has gotten the best of me. I had surgery on my left knee in February of 2004. It has really been bothering me again, only its not because of the same reason. This time it's my weight. So......I went down and joined LA Weight Loss. Today is my first of two days of basically doing a body cleanse. The had to come up with a special plan just for me because of the meds we all take! I got to speak with a certified nutritionast and doctor so that we could come up with a plan that would suit my needs and also be safe for me. I am my largest ever in my life and I thought, "wouldn't it be a wonderful suprise for my hubby when he came home in November if I were healthier and a lot lighter?" So I did it. Today has not been bad, just trying to ignore those cravings for chocolate and anything with sugar in it! Wow, those are powerful cravings! But I've been a very good

girl. I am ashamed to say that I am 100 pounds overweight I went from a size 16 to a size 24 in a year. My goal is to lose that 100 pounds and get down to a size 14 at least. The girls at the store said losing 100 pounds is going to put me in a smaller size than 14, but I didn't want to have an unrealistic goal. So, if I get smaller than that, then it will be a bonus. I need to get healthier. I truly believe that better eating habits and shedding a lot of this weight will make me feel tons better! I know for sure my self esteem will rise. I hate the way I look and am gonna fight to change that. I also believe that doing this will improve things with my marriage. Although no longer complains about my weight, I feel like I'm an embarrasment to him. Who really wants to take a whale out to dinner? My depression has spiraled out of control due to going back on the Rebif,

going to Kuwait, and my weight. So I have set out to fix the major contributing factor to all of this which is my weight.

Sorry to bore you all to death! I just wanted to share in case any of you have been thinking about doing something to get healthier as well. I will keep you all updated as to my progress. I kept a pair of skinny jeans and will get them out of the box so I can look at them everyday. When I can wear them, I will take a pic and share with you all!

Peace, love, joy and blessings to the group.
