05/23 Dr. Phil's Beach Body Bootcamp

Quote From: mompooped

Hey Pam it is Kay, again.  I am so proud of you for doing it on your own.  I struggled to do it on my own but never could.  I received Dr. Phil's book as a Christmas gift, of all things.  I kept it almost 2 years before reading it.  I was and am a happy person with a happy life and couldn't believe, as a loved one told me, that I might be an emotional eater.  I read the book, seriously, that time and was completely shocked by what I discovered about myself and what was causing me to emotionally eat.  From that point on, I began to lose weight.  I agree with you that others may not agree but I will say it with pride and conviction.  I give Dr. Phil the credit because he wrote a wonderful "life style manual" for me to follow, but I give God the glory because every time I threw the book to the side he would redirect my path back to this book.  Like you, in my moments of feeling weak, I pray instead of eat.  I resolve two issues at one time.  I spend time with God and I take control of my eating.  I had tried soooooo many things, most of which were not healthy and not long term.  Once I discovered why I was eating, the major part of the battle was won.  You look so young and I'm so proud of you for taking charge.  Don't wait until you are in your 40's like I did, get healthy now and stay healthy.  Yea, too, for getting off of the HBP meds.  I would love to keep in touch with you.  It was so hectic that day of taping.  I got some email addresses but didn't get yours.  My family and friends have been so impressed with your honesty and your accomplishments.  I have made a point to tell them how much you have lost.  I wish it had been made public because you are also an inspiration as is your honesty.  Keep up the good work and I will be praying for you!

Hi Kay!.... I would LOVE  to keep in touch. How do we exchange e-mail addresses w/o listing them on this site? Let me know if you have any ideas. I think it would be terrific to be able to support one another, esp. since we have several common bonds! Thanks for your encouragement about my weight and being healthy. I'm struggling right now. I just found out I have a tear in my L-5 and the beginnings of a herniated disk. I haven't been able to run , which is how I lost a lot of the weight in the first place... so I've gained about 15 lbs from my ideal weight. I'm having a hard time juggling only being able to ride a bike for exercise right now, and feeling bad because I can't exercise like I need to, so I've been eating more and more and that's how I've gained the weight. I think  I need to pick up the 7 keys to Weightloss again and go back to why I eat and go from there. When I'm feeling powerless or bored, I eat.

Anyway, you look so fantastic, it's so hard to believe that you were that person in the 'before' pic! I would NEVER have believed it! That's a huge, huge accomplishment, and I'm so proud of you. All of you! You look amazing and I'm so glad we were able to get to meet you all. Keep up the good work!   Pam
