I weighed in at 160 this morning...again. I lose weight, then at the drop of a hat, I'm back to 160, sometimes higher. I found this site and decided that now is the time to get a grip. The blogs about severe leg cramping are what got me started with reading the helpful and honest input.
I went grocery shopping today and got pickles, Powerade Zero, broth and other things recommended by members for leg cramps. This inspired me when I read other peoples comments that seemed directed right to me (for the cramping) and thought that the dieting issues may be equally helpful. Now I have registered and have made that first step to accepting responsibility for irresponsible eating. I can come up with all sorts of reasons why I eat too much....depression, hard to exercise, just plain hungry, etc etc, but the bottom line is that I'm the one putting the food in my mouth, no one else is. I am responsible.
My goal is a 17 lb weight loss which may not sound like much for someone who has a longer row to hoe, but nonetheless, to me it seems close to impossible. Once I went through menopause, the rules changed, that is, what worked before doesn't work now. In fact, just about everything I have tried, doesn't work anymore. I spoke to my doctor about it, and she said that that is what happens and sooner or later we will look like our mothers! I just can't settle for that. There are women out there who don't have the middle age spread and I want to be one of those people.
