Just posting this for myself!

[callog]

I have been off my diet for a while now and why did I get off in the first place I have no idea!!! I feel like I am the biggest person in the whole world! Pitty party I know and I know I only have myself to blame but I am miserable and humiliated of my weight! I feel out of breath all the time my huge stomach is in the way of everything and nothing is fitting!! I'm not even fitting in a booth at a restaurant so well!! lol I was doing so well I had lost about 35 pounds and now I have put like 15 back on and that 15 pounds makes such a difference in the way I feel. Not to mention my face was slimming way down now my face and neck have bloomed back out! I'm not trying to down myself I just had to write down the way I'm feeling and put my weight problem into prespective. I'm starting back on the first and I absoloutley have to stick to it! I will loose weight and the about March I will start tanning and I will look so much better by summer! Not to mention I will feel healthier and not be so worried about my diabetes! That is the main thing right being healthy and living a long life for your kids and not embarrasing them becuase your fat helps too right?!!! lol

Well at least you back and on track now!! Thats the important thing .. I too want to get in shape and start tanning so i can look good this summer ..

I live in Vegas , so summer time here means pool parties every other weekend and i REALLY dont want to miss out on all the fun cause i am too embarrased to get in a bathing suit in front of all my skinny cute firends ... i'm seriously NOT going to be the pudgy girl in capri's (cause i wont get in shorts let alone a bathing suit) not getting in the pool this summer .. I'm sick of being that girl.

Good Luck WE CAN DO THIS !!!

It's great that you're writing this down. Do you have a journal here? A place to write your goals, vent, get encouragement from others.
Those are some great goals. Lose weight, tanning, and focusing on your health.
I was able to reverse my Type-2 Diabetes withing 47 days into Induction. That was over 4 years ago. Never to have the Diabetes return.
That's what is so wonderful about Atkins. Weightloss is only one of the wonderful benifits. It will get you healthy internally as well.
I hear you on the difference of how much 15 pounds makes. For me, 15 pounds is a size and a half in my clothing, up or down.
I too am just coming off of a slippery slope. Only I gained back 36 pounds. I've turned it around and am headed back to goal. You are not alone in your journey.
Keep pushing forward, Post often, join some challenges. A great way to keep yourself accountable and to meet people and make new friends. We're all here rooting for you!
Hope to see you at journals.
Sincerely, Sherri

Re: Just posting this for myself!

I have to laugh about being the fat girl in capri's I don't think I wore a pair of shorts all summer just capri's well I"m with ya not this year I will have the "not near as fat" I won't say slender lol smooth tan legs with some really cute flip flops on! And my goal is to be able to wear a tank top with those shorts! lol I wouldn't dare know but I'm hope after fifty more pounds I will be able to! And yes to the lady that wrote 15 pounds makes such a difference in clothing size just by judging the way my clothes feel I though for sure I had gained more that just 15 pounds it feels more like 30 pounds I have put back on, I mean seriously I even have a harder time getting up out of a chair! lol My first goal is to be below 200 I have 55 pounds to go! So maybe I can pull it off by summer or at least a good part of it!
