Diet Discussions - View Single Post

So I finally motivated myself after over a year of blaming it on baby weight to lose the endless pounds I'm gaining. Hopefully I can do this. Me and my husband have horrible sweet tooths so the entire house has to be emptied of the horrible food. And I need to set an exact goal.

At the moment I weight 268. I'm 5'7" so the pain is horrible on my back and legs. And I have a pear shaped body which means my top is about a size 18/20 and my bottom is pushing into a 24/26. It's fine if you can copy with a giant butt. But, I can't.

I'm hoping to get back into where I was at for a brief moment in time before my pregnancy...a size 13. That was the smallest I'd ever been in my life since I was around 10.

So I'd say I'm looking at a terrifying 80-90 pounds if not more. Which if I can stay motivated will be fine. My body really isn't meant to be as large as it is now. It's painful, drains my energy and my emotions are a roller coaster because of it. *sigh*

I live in an apartment complex with a fitness center which for the first week I hit so hard I injuried my back and I'm just now healing. So hopefully I can start off slow and encorporate some dieting into it. I have limited support with this unfortunately because my husband is....how do you word it in a way that doesn't make me want to cry......well....he's a chubby chaser. It makes me want to smack him. Lol. But, if he wasn't that way I wouldn't have met him and fallen in love.

*more sighs* Maybe I can finally make this happen. I'm hoping.
Hopefully I'll start to make some success. Tonight I ate half a pack of Cherry Cordials.....lol.....I blamed all my weight on my baby. But i only had a 5 months pregnancy before miscarriage. So...I really gained maybe 10 pounds at the most. The other like 65 were all me. As far as eating healthy goes I try...We eat low fat this and turkey and chicken everything. But, there is always a cake...or candy....or something my husband picks up at the store for snacking on! I've thought about surgery, or pills...but I'm trying to motivate myself to just do it naturally. I figure that will be the most healthy for my body. And hopefully the best emotionally. So far I've taken little steps. We moved to the third floor just to make sure I have to at least exercise when I go to check the mail. I've yet to know why but I'm sooooooo lazy. Which is odd because I'm pretty sure I'm always bored. I just have to find something to do other than eating everytime I have no clue what to do. I usually attempt to walk over to the fitness center but I practically run out screaming when some skinny, beautiful person walks in and bench presses as much as I weigh. Haha...I guess the running is some great exercise.
