It happened....I have fallen of the wagon, the weight wagon !!!

    I have to say that losing weight is so overrated.  It is not easy and it does not happen over night.  Whether you need to lose 10 lbs or 20lbs it is just a struggle.  I  have to say it is the hardest thing that I have been trying to do my whole life.  Well, at least the last ten years. 
     I was not always a big girl, not skinny but not what is now consider Obese. I remember the first time the doctor said that word to me I almost died.  I was "wait a minute that is not me you are talking about".  The sad fact was that I had gained so much wait to be put in that category.  It really does not take much since my ideal weight for my height is 105 to 132...whatever.   So here I am trying to find ways of getting rid of this excess body weight and it is not cooperating.   I have tried many things but I either loss motivation or it is just not the right fit.  I could not understand why and then it hit me....I am an emotional/stress eater who likes to binge.   That was a mouthful and should make you full just reading it....lol  Anyway,  let me set you straight that when I say binge I do not do the other thing....purge.  I just binge and it is usually when I am having a bad day or I am just bored.  So, with that being said anyone know of a program that fits me???
     A cool thing is happening that I think may be just what I need.....a support group on Facebook.  Maybe with support and having to be accountable to my peers I may be more successful.  I am also going to get back on track with eating "clean".   The difference I felt when I took out gluten and dairy was amazing.....time to throw out the pint of ice cream in the freezer ( sorry hubby).   I am sure in 2 months time I will be back to feeling better and have a more positive report.   I just had to confess I had started down the wrong path again but hey this is the first step to making things right again.

    So, if any of my readers have weight loss success stories to share I am needing lots of inspiration and support.  Thank you and till next time......
