Female, 41 Years old
Dry Fork, KY |
| Looking for: |
| Diet, Support Buddies |
About me:
I am 40 years old (41 in a couple of weeks) and have been struggling with my weight since the age of 25.
I am a single parent of two wonderful kids, an 18-year-old daughter who is off at her first year of college, and a 16-year-old son who is still at home. I have a boyfriend of 9 years who is very loving and supportive. I also have a really cute dog and an 80-gallon aquarium full of fish (might as well tell you 'bout the whole family--LOL).
I am a medical transcriptionist who works from home, which means I spend most of the day sitting on my bum in front of the computer.
I was thin when I was younger, but began to lean on food more and more to deal with stress and emotional pain. I am definitely an emotional eater.
Now, at 283 pounds, I am trying once again to get control over my eating. I can remember when I only needed to lose 30 pounds, then 50, then 75. I now need to lose 130 pounds and cannot believe I let myself get this big. I feel terrible. I think I will go eat something to cheer myself up--NOT. LOL
I am 5'10", so most people, including my family, do not realize how much I actually weigh. At this size, though, it has become more than just a vanity issue, but has also become a health concern. I get winded and my heart begins to race just walking the 100 yards to my mailbox. It has also gotten to the point where I avoid going certain places because I am afraid I will run into someone I know who knew me when I was thin. There are no longer any clothes I can wear that I feel remotely attractive in. I had to look forever for a profile picture because I have become an expert at avoiding the camera.
This has got to stop. I am tired of feeling tired. I am tired of feeling ashamed. I am tired of feeling out of control.
At this point, changing my lifestyle is no longer an option but a necessity. I have nothing to lose but the weight! |
Who I hope to meet:
I hope to make some new friends who also struggle with emotional eating. In the past, I have never much been one for the "group" mentality, support groups, etc. However, I have been doing a lot of reading about emotional eating and have learned that I need to start sharing my feelings with people instead of with a bag of potato chips and dip. |
Diet:
Modified low-carb |
Exercise:
I have dusted off my old elliptical machine |

You know, I understand they are Gwar, but my ears are still ringing. what is sad but good at the same time. There are trains all around this freakin' town and they use to hurt my ears really bad. Well, due to the damage, thanks to Gwar they aren't that loud anymore and doesn't hurt my ears hahahaha |
