I also need a "buddy" with whom I can be accountable.  My trouble is the exercise portion of the equation.  I really need motivation there.  I tend to have an "all or nothing" attitude about this exercise.  Either I figure I have to run a marathon or what good is just a little going to do for me.  Well, I can't run a marathon so I tend to not exercise.

We are very close in age.  I am sure we could help each other and other people as well.

Hi everyone!

It really hit home with me when Dr. Phil said to just lose the weight, get it over and be done with it!  I think I could actually be the weight I want in three months if I just do what I need to.  Then the hard part would be over and the rest would be just maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 

When my son started kindergarten I was about 20 pounds overweight and I was determined to lose that before he started first grade.  The year went by and that never happened, and suddenly, four years later, I am now 40 pounds overweight and still determined to lose it every year.  Dr. Phil said that the next 6 months will go by, the next year will go by, whether you lose the weight or not.  I want to just do what it takes and be done with it!

I have always tried to maintain a healthy and fit body.  Then, one day we found ourselves facing possible foreclosure on our home.  I was so scared I couldnt sleep at night.  I would have a beer on occasion before this happened, but it turned into drinking 4-5 beers a night so that I would be in a state where I could go to sleep without my mind running all night long thinking the awful thought that we might lose our house.  This is what ultimately led to my weight gain.

I can look back now and see that I should have handled things differently, but I cant go back, I can only go forward.  We did end up losing our house, but were okay and managed to get another house. 

I started exercising immediately after the Ultimate Weight Loss challenge began.  The only downfall for me has been that my husband keeps beer in the house and likes to drink a couple after work.  The minute I see him open one and sit down, I want to sit and visit with him and end up drinking a beer also (not more than two now).  Now I realize that I need to make sure my husband doesnt drink a beer in front of me so I wont be tempted to, because the extra calories kind of erases the hard work I did when I did my exercises earlier in the day. 

I don't know if anyone else out there can relate to this.  These are things that I have not shared with anyone I know personally.  Also, the extra weight bothers me so much that I have cut myself off from my friends and from doing many things in my life because I keep wanting to lose the weight first.  I guess I have put everything on hold basically.  I want to finally lose the weight so that I can start living my life again!!

Thanks for listening and for your support!
