Dragging my sorry butt in the door ...AGAIN

[Dimple_Flirt]

Hello...I haven't been here for a long time...Um Honestly I think I've been avoiding myself. Stress eating, stress living, anxiety and a touch of depression maybe.I think I should treat my condition like a Food alcoholic and report in to a sponsor daily....i went from 240 up to 295.I'm quite up set with myself but money got tight, the gym membership had to be dropped and I had to go to eating cheap carb loaded foods which made me hungry and it was a horrible cycle.I must be allergic because my body went "POOF" like a fluffy marshmellow.

I'm ready to go at it again because my body hurts with this weight and people think I'm soo much older than I am.I'm 37 yrs old and a lady asked me the other day if I wanted the senior discount. I felt like this at first
then I just wanted to and cry my eyes out.guess its time for to get me back to hereagain.

Hi Dimple....welcome to your daily sponsor

I agree with you that extra weight makes all of us look older. Seems that everyone that loses their extra weight takes at least 10 years off their looks. Great bonus!

Well, since you have been down this road before, you know the drill. Welcome back!

hi dimple and welcome back. get started and keep up the good work and instead of being asked if you want the senior citizen discount, they'll be asking you for your ID!

Awww! That must have felt aweful! I'm so sorry! I'm glad you're back though... I know all about dragging sorry a$$es around... I gained 30 lbs after my surgery... completely my fault for not sticking to Atkins. lessons learned right? I'm down 9lbs though and soon you'll be reporting your losses (daily) too! ha! Good luck to you and keep posting. Start a journal and keep the long term in your mind. Don't think about next week think about next month, 3 months, 6 months, a year down the road and visualize where you want to be. You can do it! The little choices you make everyday add up. and the little losses turn into big losses. Soon you'll be feeling better again. It doesn't take long to start noticing a big difference!

Yup, I know exactly what you mean. My sorry butt rolled through the ADBB door, too. We're all in this together, and give strength to each other. Welcome back! You will soon feel better because you'll be back in control and losing weight.

C'mon dimple, you know that you can do this, and this is the place to be. You have made a decision, now set goals, and get busy. We are all in this together, and together we can do this!

Dimple- welcome to STAC'ers- I am a returning drop out as are all of us.

My body did the exact same thing after my surgery Poof! I watch myself in videos and I can't even recognize my self. My face is so puffy (as is the rest of my body). I feel like a Disney cartoon of the fat lady.

The good thing is after my 2 weeks of induction I dropped 9-10 (staying with ten) and my face and skin look 100% better. The water is so important.

I love your siggy.

Thank you for the encouraging words everyone! I had an even more terrifying thing happen , my 20th High School reunion is coming up and every one is getting in touch on Face Book and I had to post a current pic, there were a couple of people that would rat on me if I didn't it was horrible.First I made the pic tiny so it would not look so bad then the ones that know me wanted a larger pic so I posted. I went ahead and did it.Everyone else (females) are skinny there are only a couple guys that are chunky.

Ok I'm here to keep my sanity but feel like this inside. But I'm back in the game! I started this morning on meat and water and I'm watching the dang calories.

Good luck, Dimple!!! You can do it. Just remember how wonderful it feels to be skinny, just knowing you can hold your head up high. It will come off. Just be diligent in your WOE, drink plenty of water, and it will melt away.
