Well, this is not my first time on this board, I have been lurking for a while now. I even posted somewhere before, but I am terrible at keeping up with that stuff
so I am hoping that maybe by keeping my own post, I will get better at that!!
I started dating my husband 6 years ago now, and since that point I have gained about 80 pounds (eeeeeekkk!!). I realize that I was too skinny before, I am 57 and I barely weighed 115 lbs., looking at the pictures of myself, I almost looked anorexic which I wasnt. I had a very rough relationship with my mother and a very stressful boyfriend relationship the last two years of high school so I think all of that stress was keeping me skinny. Maybe I need some more stress now lol !! One lady at my church was even crying at going on and on once I had gained a little weight (before it turned into a lot!!) about how she was soooooo worried about me and she thought I was sick and everything. Well, I showed her!!
Now I wish that I had appreciated my body when there was less of it I basically just took it for granted, never worked out or developed healthy eating habits, but I was so incredibly busy with school and the zillion clubs I was in that I was always going going going and hardly had time to even sleep then I went to college and was like hey, I can sleep all day and still eat crap and where has that gotten me?? When I started WW back in April of this year, I was over 200 lbs.!! It still seems a little crazy to me that I have gained all this weight, and I am trying like heck to get it off. My husband is very skinny and he eats crap and junk and more crap all day long and never gains any weight which really doesnt help me much. He also doesnt have very adventurous eating habits, which makes it hard to try anything new and healthy. But I am trying really hard, and last year I started running with my dad, so I am actually going to do the half marathon at Disney World this year, which I am super excited about. And my goal is to actually be less heavy when we take our family trip to Disney in November, which would be the first time that has happened since I started going with my In Laws about 5 years ago. So that would be nice!! Well, sorry for rambling. Any comments or support would be greatly appreciated!!
