Hello All,
My name is Lisa and I have lead what seems like a long time love affair with food. It has been my crutch. If I was having a bad day, I'd eat. If something good happened, I celebrate with food. Well no more !! I found ADBB abbout a year ago and tried Atkins but honestly it was for all the wrong reasons. As sad as it may be I wanted to be that size 4, I wanted to conform to societys idea of what I should look like. Well no more. Ive learned over the past year, there are a lot of people out there who will look down on you becuase of your weight... But those who do arent really worth knowing to begin with.
So whats changed you might be wondering. Well this time around its for me and only me. I am no longer trying to lose weight to be accepted. I am losing weight because i am tried of dragging it around. I am tired of getting tired of walking after 10 min, not being able to go up stairs, but most importantly i want to be able to play and run with my kids. I want to be around to see them grow up. I fear my weight may cause health problems and I would prefer to head them off now b4 they get started. So thats it i am going cold turkey TODAY.
I look forward to chatting with you and getting advise from you all. You are a true inspiration to me!!!

!!! From one food addict to another, i know how you feel but i agree with sillygirl, you just have to alter the way you go about food. I have always celebrated with food, or if im upset i eat, if im stressed i eat, so food has always been my crutch as well. But as i keep on this journey i have learned how to deal with food, even through my mishaps here and there, they are all learning experiences. I would just take it one day at a time and those days will turn into weeks, weeks into months and before you know it, you will have it all figured out.
. i have been on Atkins before and lost about 40 pds. but fell off the wagon at Thanksgiving and just cant seem to pick myself back up.i use 2 dance alot but my knees hurt sooooo bad that i just couldnt take the pain the morning after, i have a new g/baby and two daughters that need me to be healthy and I DONT WANT TO DIE!! i just need some support, someone i can be real with and someone who knows the emotional and physical pain that comes from carrying around 150pds. of excess weight, i dont need sympathy because i know that i got myself into this shape. i just need a helping hand,PLEASE
