Hi there, I've been a reading this board for years and used to post way back in the day but haven't in a looong time.
Let's see, a little about me first. I am a 35 year old mother of two small children. I have a 4 year old little girl and a 2.5 year old little boy. I have been with my fiance for 8 years and he is loves me exactly the way I am...the problem is I don't!
I will try and make this somewhat quick. I was thin my whole life really (other than 20 pnds here and there) without having to worry too much about it until I ruined my body with diet pills, babies and age-lol. I was 30 when I really started to get heavy and its been that way ever since.
I can really just start with current day so I don't make this thing a book. My main problem is I bounce all over the place with diets and can't seem to stick to any one. I guess too much info has frozen me from doing anything at all. There are pros and cons to almost anything and if you know enough about any of them you can talk yourself into or out of any diet depending on your mood.
I did Body for Life last year and started getting really good results BUT it was slooooow and life stresses happened and I fell off. It is low fat but I have read that it is low fat/low carb on posts but that isn't the case. From what I read it seems to be very similar to lifetime which would explain why the weightloss is so slow.
In january myself and 6 (yes I said 6 lol) of my friends all joined Weight Watchers together. The same thing happened, I was fine and doing well for a few months and then fell off. Out of the 7 of us only one lasted actually but she has lost 70 pounds and did great! I just find this as one more reason to kick myself because she got all that weight off and I have done NOTHING! I did ok with WW at first but counting every little thing got VERY tough, especially when cooking meals for a family. I am also living with family right now so trying to control how much of this and that I eat is even more difficult.
Now with atkins, I have tried and tried and never get past the first week. I am not a veggie girl and have texture issues so I get sick of the same textures very quickly. When I get to the difficult part I also talk myself out of atkins and into yet another diet. I tell myself that I probably won't lose more weight then my WW friend so I might as well do that and eat what food I chose etc. Fact is that some say its faster some don't, some say you lose more inches, some way its 6 one and half dozen another. I'm just trying to figure it all out really.
I have made the commitment to try again starting tomorrow. I'm making a deal with myself to give it a month and take it from there. I know it will be for life but I first have to convince myself that its the best plan to accomplish my goals! One step at a time as they say.
Anyway, thanks for listening and I'm going to give it a go....again
