My Story.....or rather a bit about me

Here's some facts about me and my struggle with weight:

  • I am 27 years old.
  • I am extremely overweight, but most of the time I don't feel as overweight as I am - then I see a picture....It's a slap in the face every time.... Isn't that weird? It's like the opposite of anorexia. I feel and think I am thinner than what I really am. Weird huh? Anyone else have this?
  • I have tried many diets, but not all of them. I've been on Weight Watchers, Doctor Phil, Atkins and Isagenix. By far, Weight Watchers is the best! Amazing and supportive and I would do it again in a heartbeat IF my heart was in it. I've tried calorie counting and exercising like a mad woman! Clearly I've failed at all of them - so I made up my own plan.....
  • I had a baby 6 months ago - I did not gain any weight with my pregnancy (actually I lost weight) so I can not place blame of any of my weight on that.
  • I am a huge emotional eater! Happy, sad, bored, celebratory, you name it - I can find an excuse to eat!
  • I am not a picky eater in the least....I just do not like seafood.....however, i keep trying it thinking that one day it will magically not taste like rubber :)
  • My bad cravings: Pizza, Chocolate and bread
  • My good cravings: Any fruit - but especially pineapple and grapes, and there's something to be said about a toasted tomato sandwich!
  • I am too embarrassed to post my actual weight on here....
  • But I can tell you my size which is a 22 or a 2x
  • I have many goals - one being that I can go into any store and find something to fit.
  • Another is to lose enough weight to try for another baby....I'm hoping 50 lbs would do for that.
That's a tiny bit - I could go on and on, but that should get you started! Feel free to comment!
I will post my Plan next!
