talking to my mom was just what I needed... she reminded me that when I set my mind to something I do it... I always have. I wanted to go to college, I talked my way in and over the 250 some odd person waiting list in 3 hours... I decided, I went there, I was in.
I wanted to leave my ex... got a new job, I saved money, got my own place, moved my stuff out, set up my new duplex.
I wanted to own a house.. saved, got my credit in order.. got a house.
I met my husband and with in three mins decided that I wanted him, even if he was from another country. one year and a week, we were married
I needed to support my husband while he got through school WHILE homeschooling my step sons... and I did it
I wanted to move to another country, my husband and I battled through the immigration process and we did it!
so you know what? I'm not some weak hearted fat peice of crap. I have always been fighting and I've been winning.
I need to lose 95 pounds and I will do that too... I will trample my way to that goal just like I did with everything else.... and like every other goal I reached, people are either on my side or the hell out of my life.
I don't know why I forgot who I was underneath all of this, but it's about time I remembered.
I don't need this cucoon anymore... I won't let anyone hurt me and retreat back to it again.
this is now my way of life. I will make this happen. it is possible. it might be difficult, but so is everything else, it might take some patience, but so does everything else. in the end it will get done, like everything else.
I am sarah. I am 245 pounds. but I won't be for long.

thank you... that was the pep talk and now it's time to go into robot mode and just do it... don't think, just do... I no longer have options to look at anyway. do or die... literally. can always count on my mom to get my head right and smack me back into reality.

I was 113.5 kg which is 250 pounds but I've started my journey. 2 months ago. Not going as fast as I wanted but I'm working out 3 times a week and I'm counting fucking calories while eating healthy food. Lost 7kg (15 lbs) so far. still got about 30 kg to go. (OMG) but not quiting this time. Want to become buddies to support each other?

I like to write. What I love most about writing is taking something we see every day and turning it around so people can see it in a new way (Example: The door itself has become a sort of harbinger of better things to come. The sight of the old weathered wood, the odd portal window, and the feel of the tarnished brass handle triggers the pleasure center of the brain. It is an impossibly heavy door, but it swings on it's hinges with a surprising lightness, imparting an imaginary strength). What I love 2nd most, is the story arc. This is the big picture, the trajectory of what happens to a character from start to finish. When I read your post, I was like... Wow, what a great story you're living!! You are an overcomer! I'm so excited for you, because I'd bet a million bucks that the rest of your story is going to blow away the beginning! Yes, you're going to lose weight, that is clear. But what's going to happen after that? What's going to happen as a result of that? That is what I'm excited to see. Live on, Sarah! Yours is a great life and well lived!

rktkfx, you just brought tears to my eyes. that was all beautiful *hugs*
all you guys are so awesome! and we will all work on our goals together l, wich I think is pretty cool!
Fred4win, your wife sounds like my kinda chick ... I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and I have a family history of diabetes... I haven't been diagnosed but i know even after I was pregnant if I ate sugar id have to sleep for a while.... so I don't think that's a good sign. but I'm more worried for my heart... it's pretty weak and I'm too damn fat and in pain to exercise much to fix it. so I gotta lose some first so I can get back on my bike. that was my favorite 3am bike rides, when the whole city is asleep and it's just me flyin down the road. I love that
