Well, this is the first time I have been on here in almost five months. I have had a lot going on, several hospitalizations, an unwillingness to work on my weight, and a hatred of all who nag me about it. So I thought I would come on here and give myself away to God and ask him for his help to get through this. The one thing that has been a problem for me for so long is, I never move. I sit like a bump in a log day in and day out. I NEVER move. Well, today I actually made a commitment to start at the YMCA to exercise. It was my first time so I did the bike for 20 minutes (10 minutes first then after rest 10 more minutes), and I did 10 minutes on the treadmill. Saturday I am going again, and I will be doing the pool. How scared I am about the pool though. I feel like I will look like a whale in my bathing suit, I am so HUGE! I am trying not to think about that and just think of the fact that I AM going. Please say a prayer for me, as many times when I make such a commitment to myself, it is destroyed through self-sabotage. I want this for myself, I really do. But I get weak and give up a lot of times. Help me be strong, friends. I really need to get through this.

Nice to have you back. And you said it well - we need encouragement - not nagging.

Thanks for the buddy request Smollettri! Good for you for getting to the Y. That was a huge step ... take it slow. I know what you mean about just sitting. I heard we should set an alarm to go off every hour on the hour... just to make us get ourselves up and walk around a bit. LOL! This is a lifelong journey, not a destination ... so just prepare yourself. We will be here with you ... all the way.

Thanks guys,
Buffy, the nagging is getting out of hand, and everyone says it's in my best interest, or they are trying to encourage me. It's not encouragement. I had one of my staff tell me very forcefully, You have nothing wrong with you but your weight, you could live forever if you just lost the weight. And she counted down everything that's NOT wrong with me. You have no diabetes, no heart disease, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol problems, and all you would rather do is throw all that health away by eating and not losing the weight. Some encouragement! I am trying, it's not easy with almost your entire chain of people you know is nagging you to death about it. Even my own mom, who has her OWN obesity problem, tells me I need to stop eating so much. I can't win!

Whales are amazingly beautiful, powerful and strong animals. I went whale watching many times and they do not stop to excite me. When you go to the pool, imagine yourself being a beautiful powerful whale on your way from Hawaii to Alaska and enjoying every moment of your journey. Good luck, have fun. Who cares what anybody thinks.
