And I agree, I know how much better I feel when I eat right and my weight is down. It is so easy to forget that, especially with the holidays, or just simply in the moment!<br /><br />MLC - I understand about being afraid to let the weight go. Good or bad, it weirdly becomes part of our identity too. *hugs* to you too!<br /><br />Stephanie - I remember the old WW! Actually, really old, it was before points and it was filling in boxes for "fruits" and stuff. I'm looking forward to feeling better! Your 10-day ebay thing is a cool idea!

I lost a significant amount of weight in my early 30s and kept it off for about 10 years. Now 30 pounds of it is back and I'm committed to losing weight. I hopped back on the exact same program I used 15 years ago (in my case, Weight Watchers from the OLD days--counting points the way the program used to work before they changed it all). I will say when I lost weight the last time, I felt about 50% better...more energy and all of the pains I'd been having were gone. I was young then... But I know weight loss can help with a lot of things. We can DO THIS!!! I'm bribing myself...every Sunday if I have a completed booklet where I've written down 7 days of food/activity and stuck with the program, I get to go shopping on eBay and buy a new piece of clothing. As I lose weight, I'll need new clothes, so that has always worked and you can find things for less than $10 on eBay!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482477015929524414.post-78450521462621849822017-01-02T15:41:25.129-05:002017-01-02T15:41:25.129-05:00Kyra, I have faith in you! You can do it! You will...Kyra, I have faith in you! You can do it! You will do it! Everything you want to accomplish, I totally understand! Take everything one day at a time! <br />You know how hard it was for me to join the gym last year? Totally scared! To show the real me! "Fine hair and all!" But, I did it and I am going to continue! I love myself too much! I am not going to give up! First time in my life, I have accepted me for me! When I get down more weight, I will tell everyone what my highest weight was. <br />I ate to cover up pain. But, the weird part is, I am scared to let the weight go. It's like a security blanket for me. That's why I had a bad December, because I ate! I snapped myself out of it! I'm ready to see what happens, when my weight is gone! <br />I just couldn't believe, I was and still am, scared, to lose all my weight!<br />They say when you do the things that scare you the most, you will get the biggest accomplishment! <br />When you said you feel like you're bleeding inside, I so understand. Try to everyday, look up into the sky and say, it's so good to be alive! <br />We are all going to have our down days! December sucked for me! But, as long as you get up again, that is the main thing! There are signs everyday for us! Look for them! <br />Big Hugs!

You really are more spectacular than you realize. As for health and feeling better both mentally and physically, I discovered last year what a huge difference my diet made in my life in every aspect;from headaches, stress, muscle pain and all the other rot. I just quit eating anything made with sugar or any kind of flour. I did it for 6 months, lost 26 pounds and felt better in every other way. Of course, the Holidays make us forget about our health, and now, after devouring countless chocolates and other unmentionables, I must retreat back to my healthful eating habits. It is amazing how medicinal food really is. You can do this too.<br />jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.com
