Hello to all my Fatsecret life support buddies and friends! I am so happy. I didn't lose an ounce this morning, but I don't care. I am happy because I know that I now have the support I need to lose this weight. Coming on here and talking and sharing and venting and complaining with such warm, understanding people, who understand me so deeply -- it's truly a dream come true. Everyone here completely understands what I go through. It's almost like talking to myself. I have been looking for something like this my whole life. I tried the WW meetings, which are great. But I can't take them home with me. And for some reason, their website never "got" to me. I didn't feeling like opening up on there. This place is a miracle. Okay. I'm kvelling. But you guys deserve it!!!
I think that what's important in a diet is the work. And it's tough. It takes so much concentration. All the diets, as we know, if followed, work. There is no diet that's better than any other. It all comes down to what you do to eat less. There is no miracle cure. It's difficult. It's work. But having a built-in support system that you can really lean on at all times of the day or night is so important. Our family and friends, who we know love us, don't always understand. And they might not be able to support us when we need them or how we need them. When we come on here, we know that everyone else who is writing on here is at that moment looking for the same type of feedback, the same type of conversation and information and stimulation and motivation. And we get it.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Hey there! Just remember to keep on keepin' on and you will make goal. Nothing worth having in life comes easy to us. Even if we were naturally thin, we probably wouldn't appreciate it. :-) At least once we get to our destination, we will fight to keep it there. I know when I was younger and thinner, I did not eat right. I did not take care of myself. Then after kids were born, things just got out of control. I fight myself daily to not eat the junk stuff that I crave, but new habits and newly tried foods make it a little easier everyday. I thank God that I accidently found this site. I was just trying to look up the WW points value on something one day when I landed here. Now I can't imagine dieting without it. Everyone here is so friendly, and on other dieting sites that is just not the case. Even at the WW meetings, I would just sit in the crowd and not know anybody, not even try to get to know any of them. I would just smile and say hi every week. Thank you for being such wonderful and easy people to get to know. The key for me is to write everything I eat down, stay within my points, and have the support of understanding people who understand my battles. My husband is my rock, but does not understand the struggles with obesity. My mother is around 400 lbs, and I am terrified of following in her footsteps.
Sorry this is so long, but as I write this, it just seems to help me. Thank you for being you Debbra. You are a sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, too. I found this site by stumbling on it myself. I was looking for the calories of something, and I was impressed that it gave me so much information. Talk about happy accidents! I am addicted. It's really an interesting phenomenon. I would never have thought about finding a site like this. I would have been very skeptical about how it would affect me. And yet, it is without a doubt one of the most important things in my life. I feel like I've been lying to myself for years about how much I wanted this. Now that it's within my reach, I'm thrilled. I'm not even impatient. I know I'll get there. That impatient feeling, I think, comes from the insecurity that I won't reach my goal, that I'll be thrown off track somehow, yet again. Did you ever feel like you were a split personality? That there was a good you and a bad you, as far as eating is concerned, and that you couldn't control yourself when you wanted to? I've been saying that about myself since I was a kid. Heck, I'm getting long-winded too. And I've really enjoyed getting to know you too, Redone. You, yourself, are a sweetheart!!!

AWWWWW! You are too kind...
I feel like for years that I have avoided the weight issue. If I didn't acknowledge it, then it would just go away. I think a turning point was one night when I got in the bathtub for a bubble bath and my thighs were both touching the sides of the bathtub at the same time. I called into my husband and asked him why he didn't tell me that I had let myself get fat. He knows how sensitive I am about my weight. It is kind of off limits to talk about at my house. I know that is wrong, but I am trying to change that. I feel like the good vs. evil in my head sometimes, but I know that with my friends and support system on here, the good will win out more and more.

I have had a weight problem since I was about 10 years old. I was never truly obese. But I was a chubby kid. And then I had my first successful weight loss when I was 12. So I have been going up and down the weight ladder almost my entire life. Then as a young woman, I managed to stay slim enough to date. Not super skinny, but I was pretty. At my wedding I weighed 126 pounds, my slimmest. And then I became lazy. I've had bouts of going down. I tried Atkins for a while and actually lost a lot, but I couldn't stick to it. And the biggest problem is that every time I gained weight back, I gained more weight than the previous time. When I was younger, I thought that 145 was heavy. But in the last couple of years, I've seen 173 on my scale. I don't ever want to be there again. But I really thought that I didn't have the emotional strength to do it. But now I really feel supported. I feel like I have found dry land. I can remove these wet clothes, stop gasping for air, and relax, fully comfortable in the feeling that I am safe.

Let's slide down together. We are gonna do it, and it is just going to take a while. We are in it for the long haul. I love seeing some of these people on here that have lost so much, and have so much to share with the rest of us just starting out. They are such an inspiration.
