Nice to see there are some ppl who 'get' where I am coming from. Mylene, we are a lot alike. Although I dont LOVE my body and I hate the way I look in pictures, I think I feel thinner than I really am because I just cannot believe that is me when I see a picture of myself. I'm not really really bothered by my weight (although it startig to border on bothering me) and my hubby loves me and is attracted to me the way I am, so this is not so much for esthetics (although it will be a plus), but for health reasons too.
Last year this time I dropped about 30-40lbs for my wedding. I was really watching what I ate so I can totally understand not realizing how many calories you are eating until you start to pay attention. Thing is know this now and just chose to not pay attention. I find the my food diary thing really helps with getting you to eat enough and the right kinds of foods and seeing what is good and what REALLY isn't.
I know a lot of people dont like to go the medication route, but my dr. suggested it and I tried Meridia and it worked so well for me. The down side is that it put up my blood pressure a bit, but it seems to get me over this emotional hurtle that keeps me eating. But I cannot do that while brest feeding and to be honest it does scare me some, and it is expensive. I'll re-evaluate that situation when I can. I am preparing myself to start this weight loss thing and jump on the band wagon. I'm so nervous about it because I've failed so much for the last 15 years at doing it.
