Hi Joy-I'm so sorry, I don't think I ever welcomed you to the board.

Anyways, welcome and I hope you are feeling better. I know it gets hard sometimes to keep up with eating right and exercise and everything and sometimes you feel like you're in it all alone but don't give up. It sounds like you're off to a great start, just keep believing in yourself.

Ok here it goes. I HAVE NOT been doing very good. I seem to have fallen off everything that I started. I notice that I have gone up in weight 284 but gone down in size, I havent been exercising, not eating well and back to diet soda. Im not trying to make excuses for myself but it seems that as soon as I couldnt get on this site everything went to hell. I dont have the support at home, from friends or family. You guys are the support for me. I know it sounds stupid but I look forward to coming on here and hearing from everyone and sharing in everyones success even though I dont "know" anyone here. Im not sure how I can make this a lifestyle change when I dont have anyone here that is also willing to change. Trying to make 2 different meals, taking the time to just stop everything and exercise, work has been different shifts lately some days I get home go to bed and then right back in the morning I feel like Im overwhelmed. I know that food is my comfort zone, when I get stressed I eat, when I get bored I eat. When Im comfortable I eat. Seems like all I do is eat. Im confused, Im stressed, Im angry at myself. I know that I need to do this for my health, I want to look better. But then I see the food and everything else goes out of my head. I just dont know what to do. I dont want to give up. I just dont know how to juggle everything.

Sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time right now, I know how frustrating it can be to feel alone. You are definately not alone though and we will always be here when you need us, you can always find a friend in one of us. Before you eat something, ask yourself why you are eating it or what you are feeling to make you want to eat it? Are you hungry? If you are bored, take up a new hobby or go do something else to get your mind off the food. It can be anything..sewing, reading, writing in a journal, cleaning, spending time with loved ones, or use that time to prepare your meals for a couple days in advance. If you are stressed out...go for a walk, or take a nice long relaxing bubble bath and listen to some soothing music, just sit and relax with a good book. If you are eating for emotional reasons, ask yourself what you are missing? Then seek a good friend to talk to, or your husband and spill your guts.

As for your family not supporting you in all of this..that is complete bull. I am sure you go out of your way to help them and take care of their needs...DEMAND that your needs are met in return. Make them understand how important this is for you and tell them to stop sabatoging it for you.

As far as being angry..don't be. We all hit our rough spots and want to give up. Working out when you're angry is the best time to do it...because you can beat up your body, but in the end you will benefit.

I hope everything works out for you and you can always send a PM my way or an email: missywagner@hotmail.com if you ever need a friend for support.
