The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

[tink]

I have been reading through these boards the past two days. I can't believe how many people are here cheering each other on. I am so excited that I have this spot in cyber space. I want to loose NO I am going to loose 90 pounds and once and for all be at my ideal body weight. I am on day 3 of the plan and so far so good. I am enjoying some broth as I type. I didn't want to just a lurker so I decided to post so I can get all the great things from this board. I have been on a weight loss roller coaster my entire life and frankly the time has come for it to stop. I realize that I have to stop looking at the "thin" people who seem to stay that way effortlessly. It is time to stop being angry that I seem to have this obsession with food and the poor me why me syndrome that I can get so wrapped up in. My mother and father always have and still do struggle with weight issues. I don't want my children to do the same so I have to break the horrible cycle. I am so happy to have found a place that seems like it really cares about the people who are here!

Hi Tink
It's great to see you on the forum. I can relate to your thoughts about thin people who can eat anything. I happened to be married to one!! He can and does eat ANYTHING he wants right in front of me. But thats "ok" I've learned to just smile, look at his BALD head and say "Thank you Lord I don't have that problem" It's much easier to lose weight than to regrow hair.

That is so funny! My husband - the exact same thing! MY DH is very tall so if he does gain weight you can't tell! I myself am 5'3 tall every ounce shows. My hubby is hanging on to his hair but he is getting pretty thinnnn up there!
