Where's Michelle??????

OK so I am lost....I don't know what my problem is, but I just can't take it anymore. Why when I was 17 could I eat 2 double cheeseburgers, a large fry and a large chocolate shake, and lose weight, now I look at it and gain 5lbs???? UGH I have made up my mind...I need to find me!!! I cannot stand this person I have become. I was doing so good and then I don't know what happened...I just fell of the wagon, but today, I am ready to recommit myself. I want to be healthy...not so much a certain weight, just healthy. I AM going to do this...I have 3 months(well a little less) till the Minnie Marathon, and I want to be at or pretty close to goal weight by then. I weigh 176.2 as of last Saturday at Weight Watchers...my goal weight is 145, so that is 31.2lbs to lose. I know it seems like alot, but I know myself, and if I stick to it, then I know I can do it!!!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I promise myself that I WILL do this.

Michelle,
Good for you! I started at 178 and I am still plugging along.Our goals are alike. I have to say I feel so much better. Xmas day I actually hit rock bottom and felt like I never want to feel again. So on 12/26 I started and even though the weight is not just falling off me even though I am working very hard I do feel better. Good Luck! Oh I was also the Big Mac, Lg fry and choc. shake girl in HS. We have a McD down the street from the HS and I remember 1 day going there 4 times, before school, lunch, after school and after soccer practice- oh those were the days!

Linda...Good luck to you too. When I was skinny I used to think why don't "fat" people just stop eating and lose weight, and now that I am a "fat" person I know that it is so much more than that. Weight loss is a daily struggle, but I know that this time I will hit goal!!! I am determined because the frustration of being overweight is so much harder to deal with than the actual losing weight part.

I did good yesterday and the day before, so 2 good days under my belt, I know it is just a matter of time before I rid my body of that junk that I was eating and start nurturing(sp??) it with healthy wholesome foods!!! I already am starting to feel better.
