I Need to Lose Weight!

A personal story in the experience: I Need to Lose Weight
I really need to lose weight ! I put on a lot of weight during the course of a 2 1/2 year relationship that I ended 5 months ago. I started losing some weight the first 2 months because I was heartbroken. Lately the last few months I have been really depressed and began craving sugar and sweets a lot. My neighbor just had a surprise Birthday party for her husband two weekends ago. Today she brought by the pictures of the party in which I was in a few of them. Oh my lord! I knew I had put on weight but I wanted to cry when I saw myself! I look enormous in these pictures! I look so sad in these photos! I let myself go and I am so ashamed and embarrassed! Anyone reading please say a prayer for me! I should also mention that diabetes runs on both sides of my family very badly! So for health reasons also I need to get this weight off! My father and brother are both diabetic!

Lord can i relate!! Right now i am the LARGEST i have ever been (except for my pregnancies), and i completely HATE my body, grrrrrrrr!! My b/f doesn't help either, as he stupidly thinks i have a FANTASTIC body ( he must be going blind ). He actually gets angry at me when i say anything negative about my body which just confuses me because it's just soooooo disgusting right now!!

You sound like you have a ton of excellent reasons to lose weight! I have no doubt that if you find the right method of losing it , you'll be able to do it! One thing I've found is that it's *crucial* to eat right. And not actually all that hard, once you work out what your body needs naturally. I'm not an expert, but have lost a bit of weight recently, so if you want any further thoughts on actually going about losing weight, drop me a line!

Wow..Your story is very similiar to mine. I NEED to lose weight also. Diabetes is prevelant in my family, both my dad and brother have it as well. I also have taken pics at family gatherings and was shocked to see that woman staring back at me. I don't feel like that overweight woman in those pics..who is she?? She definitely dosen't represent who I am inside.

Maybe we can encourage one another...I am thinking about Nutri System..but $300/month is very steep. I need to get off the couch but it is hard sometimes...

I have been in your same situation so i totally undersatnd what how you are feeling, i can oky that you need to use your will power and put all your effort to change your eating habits and start to work out, walking every day 1 hours it will help you a lot. the process is slow and is not easy, but you have to string and believe you can do it. Go for it girl.

I know how you feel!
I can relate with being surprised with what you see in pictures of yourself. Deep down, I knew that I was big, but when I saw a picture of myself from a birthday party last month, I thought that I would die with embarassment!
I have made plan after planto lose weight and I always have failed.
But I believe that you can do it. Health risks are a wondrous way to force yourself to stick to a plan.
I am sure that you are beautiful now and that if you stay strong, you will be even more beautiful!
Some tips for metabolism is to drink unsweetened green tea daily or to add cinnamon to your foods. And eating 100% whole wheat will help keep you full and keep your mind off food. Your body wants to be thin too, it's our emotions that get to us.
Good Luck!
