here to stay

Postby Loribug » January 3rd, 2007, 2:15 pm

Well, as the year begins and I feel more miserable than ever, I say "I have got to do this. I haven't been on in months. After Mom died last July it just went downhill from there. I see all my old friends on the forum and their wonderful successes, (Dee you look fabulous as ever), Foxy, I see your still recruiting and looking good.

NO MORE EXCUSES!!! It is just food. This is my life I am talking about.

For those of you that don't know me, and those that don't remember. I'm 44 years old, I've been a heart recovery nurse for 19 years. I live by myself (by choice, long story there hehe) with my cat Nappy Pus sy and my dog Mrs. Brooks. I used to like to scuba diving (unable to at this time due to obvious health reasons). Realitively happy except for the obvious.

I have managed to stay away from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, but I do have lupus. Some trade off huh?

I am committing myself today and all the rest of my days to eating right and getting on the right track with my exercise which is nonexistent at this time.

November I came down with a respiratory infection and was down for almost 8 weeks, still very weak and unable to do any activity with out being short of breath still at this time. It has made me realise how short life can be.

When I was on MF last year I lost over 50 pounds in a short period of time. I am sad to say I have gained most of this back. But I'm am going to start over. Unc, put me in the 0 club at #348.2 (361 was my highest)

Oh by the way...Foxy....to show my commitment, I am now e mailing Unc my now photos!

Hello everyone, glad to be back. :whip:

Thank you for posting your pictures on Studio.
You are taking control of your situation and jumping back in.
Nobody says that your weight loss journey will be easy,
but we both already know that if we stick strictly with the MF plan with no dilly dallying around, it will happen!

Loribug,
Welcome back! I'm an R.N. also and my specialty is open heart surgery. I think most people who constantly take care of others eventually forget to take care of themselves. After taking care of my father up until the second he past over, that's when I started gaining weight. It was like I was trying to fill a huge void and comfort myself with food at the same time. We will do this. We all deserve to be healthy and to feel good about ourselves. Looking forward to getting to know you on the forum! :)

Loribug,

I gained 30 of my hard-lost pounds back too. The important thing is that we're back! Let's make this OUR year! Let's do this!

Hi Loribug,
I'm a chaplain and I thoroughly agree with kmr about how we carry emotional burdens when caring for loved ones. I gained most of my weight after my husband died in 1994! :cry:

I'm an "emotional eater"--I try to comfort and be good to myself when things are not so good around me. I'm trying to "reframe" things for myself and do/see things differently. Instead of using food as a source of comfort I'm using that energy to make healthy choices instead--being truly good!

It's not easy but we can do this together! :)

Hey there, Loribug ~

Your ticker is moving along quite nicely. You've lost two bags of dog food already.

Yeah! :cleader:
