You can always use support so I thought this might be a good idea. I have been struggling with my weight all of my life. I have had two periods (besides now) in my 27 years where I had decided and dedicated mysef to being thin. The lesson I have learned is that you cant just want to lose weight you have to make a decision to lose weight. The first time I lost weight I was in high school and lost about 30 pounds and I kept it off for about 5 years (until my second year in college). The next time was about 4 years ago. I had gained some weight back and lost it again and maintained for about 2 years.
I had reached 175 lbs. I have made it to 160 lbs. and it has been a huge struggle. My metabolism moves like molasses. I made a commitment to eating more healthy about 10 years ago and have stayed with it. I never fry food, I don't buy sweets (though I do make them on a rare occasion) and eat them rarely. I really don't know how I came to be the size (I am a 14 in case you are wondering). I always try to eat well. Now I am obsessed with everything that goes in my mouth. I'm currently not eating enough and I know that I am starting to go off the deep end so I thought I would joing CPH for support. I still have 25 pounds to go and I want to do it healthy. I have cut my eating too much. I have a lot of work left to do and currently do not have much of a support system (just me). It just isn't coming off as easily as it did when I was 16, 18, 23...
To top it off my husband is very skinny (we are both 5'8'') he is in the military and weighs in at a whopping 145 to 150. He wears a 30 waist (I can barely get his pants above my knees!) I hate being bigger than my husband (I know if I lose the weight I still may not be smaller, but I guarentee it will help my feelings about the whole thing!) I want to lose the weight before my husband comes home from Iraq next year.
I feel my goals are reasonable. I have been down to 122 lbs before and I know that that is entirely too small for me. 140 would be great!!!
Starting: 175
Current: 160
Goal: 135-140
