    I need help!!!

    I fell off this woe eating again. Please help me get started again...
    I had my hysterectomy which turned out to be more surgery than the doctors anticipated. I wasn't allowed to do anything. I did figure out the one thing I could do....that was gorge myself for 5 weeks. I have managed to get my weight all the way back up to 268 lbs. I wouldn't even get on the forum because of guilt over what I was doing to myself. I was just given a pic. of myself at my daughters wedding and I just wanted to die. I literally cried. I will post the pic. this evening when I have more time. I don't want anymore excuses.I started this woe this morning when I woke up. I took a good long look at myself in the mirror without clothes and was totally disgusted with myself. I am literally killing myself. I am going back to the gym to renew my membership. I am really going to need a lot of help. I need some tough love. My husband just quietly loves me to evermore increasing obesity. He wants me to lose it as well. More than anything...I want to lose it for myself. Thanks for listening. Please help...
    PS....Thank you Dessert Thorn for continuing the emails...it brought me back today.

    Welcome back Michele!

    I've been wondering about you and where you had gone to. I'm sorry you've been having a hard time with this WOE. But, that's in the past and the future is up to YOU. Keep the determination that you're showing in this thread and do it one day at a time.

    Tape that picture some place where it can be a reminder of why you're doing this.

        Hmm, 39 and have a daughter getting married.... interesting

        But your attitude is great Michelle. Standing naked in the mirror disgusted with yourself will give you the mental visicitude to make the changes. I know I do this every day, and it most likely helps me not even think about high carb foods. Your attitude, while negative is exactly where it should be - it is motivating!

        Don't stop till youv'e lost 100lbs!

          You may need to start slow too. You could start by just adding some low carb protein at every meal and slowly build your way back up???

              mcotton, welcome back


              We are all here because we have fallen off that bumpy wagon, too. Some of us have a real hard time staying on.

              If you need more motivation and some challenges, go to the exercise and challenges forums. There is SO much going on!!!

              But make sure that you stay true to your committments. You can say anything here but you are accountable to yourself in the end.

              Good luck!

                      Well....here I am again. I did terrible since my last post. I do have good news though...I am on my second day of cheat free induction. I decided with yesterday being ash wednesday and wanting to repent of some things in my life. I included gluttony to be one of the things I am sorry for having done. Now I am on the right track. I walked two plus miles yesterday and will again today. I just did a bunch of early spring cleaning. That was a work out. I really appreciate all your help. I will be posting more often.

                        You can do this, Michelle! Using Lenten fasting (in solidarity with the poor, who don't get to "choose" to restrict thier food intake) helps me, I know. The first time I was successful on this WOE, I started on Ash Wed, and continued on to lose 60lbs! While you're walking, try meditating on those who are starving in this world. Sure helps put things in proper perspective!
                        Good luck, and you're not alone!

                          Hello!! I read your posts, and I just wanted to add my 2 cents. Don't be so critical of yourself!! I've noticed that it seems to make one much more likely to dwell and obsess on weight, food, etc. Not good. One of the instructors at my gym said something to us on Monday. It was so simple yet so brilliant that I just have to share it. "McDonalds will never close--the food you love will always be there" It's silly, but that really helped me not get so upset about not being able to eat my favorite food. Hope this helps. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great.
                          Peace, Jess~

                              Thank you for the tidbits of help. I really appreciate the meditating thing you mentioned. I will try that. I never really thought of my favorite foods going away. I just didn't want to give it up. I would take another bite to drown out my guilt for making poor eating decisions. I do tend to be hard on myself though. I will look forward and think positive. I walked my 2 plus miles with my dog and joined the gym and worked out there as well.
