Howdy from Arkansas... :sign0144:
I'm by no means new to the weight-loss "struggle!"
I have been battling the bulge for 17 years now.
(of course, I'm at my highest weight ever this time.) :sigh: (190.0) I'm 5'9 ~ 37 years old.
I was a tiny, healthy little thing growing up.
My mom always had to take me to special clothing shops for my pants/jeans/ and so on bc I was so skinny.
Once a teenager, I stayed around 110-115 lbs. (healthy) and wore extra small tops and size 0 jeans. (still had to go to special shops for those back then.) Could eat like a horse and never gain an ounce.
That all changed when I had my son. LOL
(he just turned 17)
Came out of the hospital wearing a size 11.
That was a huge adjustment for me. I had lived my whole life as a tiny, skinny person and now I had to stay in maternity clothes bc my entire closet full of stuff was donated to GoodWill.
My first ever weight loss journey begun and of course I was on the yo-yo diet war roller coaster for many years until I educated myself properly. (re: fad diets).
I had a couple of years at goal.. size 9/10 ~ 146 lbs.
THEN, a new Network Aired.. Dare I say, FOOD NETWORK... :argh:
>>>Fast Foward>>> To Now...
Each year I age it just gets harder and harder to get the scale to move and then I give in and give up!
I want this cycle of hell to STOP!
2 Years ago I got sooo close to goal as I was 170.0 ...Only had a little bit longer to go..
(started at 197.6)
I became very ill with bronchitis and it turned into pneumonia.
Messed up my groove with eatin' healthy and daily exercise. Once well, couldn't seem to get back in the swing of things.
So, this is my story.....
Would like to have a new, bright, exciting, story to share and put the nagging old one to rest!
