Hi, my name is Michele and I'm overweight. Just like many other people. I didn't gain all my weight till around a year ago. Well, I started gaining 8 years ago when I had my first child. But the bulk of my bulk came within the last two years. Like many others I have been on diet after diet and never seem to stay on task. I always quit before I had a chance to really start. I use to believe in "diets". Not any more. I'm beinging to learn that it's more of changing your life, like after a heart attack. I found this amazing bulletin board. It's done by Richard Simmons and I've learned so much.
So, the point of this page is to account for my progress and to possibly help others find their dream and self esteem again. I was asked some important questions by one of my board "angels". It was:
Why don't I want to lose weight?
- Why is this not important enough for me?
- What will happen to me if I lose this weight?
- What am I afraid of?
I looked at those questions. I couldn't give a GOOD excuse for any of them. I didn't know how to answer them. I guess I've been like this so long that I in a way became "comfortable" with it. (So to speak) I will be posting my achievments and disappointments on these pages. I hope that some of you will be willing to share your stories with the rest of us. If you'd like to see your stories, ideas, or recipies posted here, just let me know! I'll be writing more later.
