Day One...Something you HATE about yourself..
Hmmmm....
On the outside I may appear happy ..upbeat..bubbly..but inside I am ashamed of how I have let myself get so FAT....I wasn't heavy as a child..I was actually pretty skinny up until I left school and began eating outside the home and could eat whatever I wanted...as a child we had 3 meals a day and that was it..we had the occasional snack but we weren't allowed to just snack all the time and eat whenever we wanted...so it was kind of a free for all when I got out on my own.. so by the time I came over to the states I had gained about 24 Lbs..and since then every year it's been a few pounds and now 27 years later I am about 60 Lbs overweight..lethargic and pretty damn miserable if the truth be told....no one ever really says anything about my weight to me..everyone always tells me I look great but it's like the elephant in the room we all know is there but no one wants to talk about it ..as I get older the weight is harder to shift..and it is accumulating around my middle and in my face and I hate to look in the mirror and see the roundness...so I am eating better..healthier and moving more..it really is that simple..I know how to do it I am just lazy...I love food..we eat out a lot and it's just what we do..but no more..I have our trip to Hawaii as motivation and I really need to get control...
So that's one thing I hate about myself...trust me there are more.. :-)

Many of us face weight problems and believe me it only gets worse when we get older. Eating what is good for you can be fun too! It's just a different way of eating. I think your trip is going to be a great motivator!
so I am eating better..healthier and moving more..it really is that simple..
But it actually isn't so simple really, since our heads play many tricks on us. At least you are trying...
This entry really hits home, but I'm probably 120 lbs. overweight. It's so easy to put on & so hard to get off.
I wish you the very best!!!!
Lyn, I hate my insecurity the most !!!!!!!! xxxx Lisa
If the weight comes off, it comes off. If it doesn't, be happy with who you are. I've been there and done that and you shouldn't be too hard on yourself.
It's hard to change an entire lifestyle..and that's what it takes to lose the weight.
I battle the same problem.. and as you said, it only gets harder as you get older.
Just remember, it doesn't make us who we are..You are many things, you are not your weight.

I hate my weight problem too. I was like you as a child. Skinny, skinny, skinny. I never really put weight on until I quit smoking 22 years ago and then it just piled on and on and on. I can remember always being hungry as a child. My mother controlled every mouthful we ate. Not sure if that has something to do with why I am fat now or not, but it could be! I think you're beautiful no matter what size you are. xxoo
I was also a skinny child. My daughter saw a picture of me and was surprised at how skinny I was. I was a dancer for a few years- from 8 to 11. I hit my teen years and puberty hit with full bloom. I got hips and curves and the weight problems started then. I can relate to the weight issues. I have a good 75-80 pounds that need to come off of my frame. And yep...the older you get the harder it is to do. Ugghh!!
It certainly sounds simple but, in reality, it's hard to change those (eating)habits we've grown so comfortable with.
Keep working at it, you'll get there in the end.

Weight is something that a lot of women struggle with. I am also about 60 pounds overweight. I guess on the positive side, I don't actually look it. But it's still there, and I know it. I could do more and get the weight off but I don't and therefore it is my own fault. I'm glad you are making steps in the right direction. Keep Hawaii in mind! If that isn't a motivation, I don't know what is! LOL
