Now every time I go through finals it's another ten pounds that just won't come off. I recently hit the 200 mark, and started a new diet and workout routine to try and stop the cycle. Unfortunately, I'm up to 205 now! I'm hoping this is just some new muscle from the workouts or something. <BR/><BR/>The saddest part is that I look at pictures of myself when I weighed 50 lbs less, and I remember being there and feeling soooo fat! Now I think I looked great. I guess the key is to try and be healthier, but not to wish away your time either. <BR/><BR/>I will be keeping up with your blog for some much needed inspiration!prettybyrdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868872321463975197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333973413249848574.post-25594180739932423492009-02-09T08:23:00.000-08:002009-02-09T08:23:00.000-08:00I KNOW ITS HARD..

I've struggled with my weight - all my life. I was in my late teens when I teetered around 200. As I climbed into the 190s I'd think to myself - ok, as long as I don't get to 200. Yeah right. As the scale climbed to 230 240 250 - I beat myself up more and more. My friends would say "you're not that big". (Hint - if I was going to lie, this is one number I wouldn't inflate. Ha ha.

We didn't have much food and the food we could afford was cheap & not so good for you. Why is that? I have had times as an adult that money was hard to come by & the only food I could afford that the not-so-good (but tastes oh! so good) food. Its just hard. People talk about eating "organic" but I can't afford with with a family of 5 plus my MiL that is living here now.

I also have a serious food addiction. I was reading your new posts, and thinking "I would really like a cupcake". We have a bunch in the kitchen. Then I read your post about how much fat people hate being fat. It's true! I hate it so much! I hate it more than anything in the whole world! There isn't a day in my life that goes by that it isn't an issue. My husband doesn't understand why I can't just stop eating. Anyway, I didn't eat the cupcakes. They're still sitting there. I think it would help me if you could talk about how much I hate being fat every day.The Masked Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244918814215986695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333973413249848574.post-56168813351408321932009-02-06T12:47:00.000-08:002009-02-06T12:47:00.000-08:00She sounded like a good friend!

I thought in my mind...I am pregnant, I need to eat for my baby's health. Well let's say that her 8lbs 10oz self came out but I never (still havent) gotten below the 200 mark. I have over shot it by about 40 lbs. <BR/><BR/>I hear you...we are going through the same things. It is so hard. I am here for you though:)!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891198829668161006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333973413249848574.post-10168030038846589832009-02-06T12:25:00.000-08:002009-02-06T12:25:00.000-08:00When I was pregnant with my second child, I starte...When I was pregnant with my second child, I started my pregnancy at 172. I was scared to death that I would "hit that 200 pounds". I lost so much weight with morning sickness that I did not, weighing in at only 182 before birth.<BR/><BR/>Fast forward five years and I had been diagnosed with depression, was in the midst of the lowest point of my life, and ALL I cared about was eating.... so when I hit that 200 dread pounds, I didn't care. AT ALL. And continued not to care all the way up to 243 pounds!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848829651294302044noreply@blogger.com
