kari29's Journal, 01 December 2016

I am here to find a like-minded community for support as I undertake this lifelong journey towards total body health. I have been a food addict my entire life. I eat for comfort. I binge eat. I often find myself thinking about my NEXT meal while I am still eating the current one! This has to STOP! I am ashamed, embarrassed, uncomfortable in my own skin. It's time for a change. I can't keep living my life like this. I have a wonderful husband and a gorgeous little daughter who want me in their lives for years to come. I have played roulette with my health for years, opting for the easy way out and it is catching up with me. I am already dealing with hypothyroidism and am one click away from Type 2 diabetes. I know there are many out there that would look at my situation and see it as "not that bad". But for me, this is my rock bottom. I can't continue down this self-destructive path. Today, I take it to the next level. It's the first day of my future!

I am feeling the same way. Food is my security blanket. I need to lose 60 pounds but I would love to make that 80. I'm tired of being tired and being a fatty.

Great start, tracking my food really gets my attention. This is a great site for that! It makes us accountable. It's easy to just go on autopilot and not pay attention to what we are doing to ourselves. All the best to you!!

The first step in change is often dissatisfaction."And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." -Anais Nin Good luck Kari!

the first time I joined WW, I said I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. What keeps me going now is the realization that eating right is something I am doing FOR me, not something I ma doing TO me. One day at a time.

You are aware and that's a great first step. There is a "you" inside that wants to take care of the "other you" that seems to get off track. Give yourself a present everyday - something good for your body. Love yourself.
