Hello--LauraLee,
I can totally relate with you. I too have 75-100 lbs to lose. It seems as if everyday I start out saying "This is the day!" but by the end of the day I'm a mess. Sometimes I'm completely overwhelmed by how fat I have gotten--I remember when I was a teenager asking my friend to just shoot me if I ever got the same size I am now. It's so scary to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself.
But enough with the sad stuff....I do want to change and like you, I have a wonderful family to live for. Right now I'm making small changes....eating more veggies and salads--I'm trying to add new habits rather than stripping the old ones right now. At the moment I feel pretty overwhelmed and while I want to instantly be thin and beautiful I feel as if I can only do small stuff right now. I'm also checking with my insurance to see if they would cover talking to a registered dietician--I feel at this point I need the extra help. While I believe I know how to lose weight-eat less, move more-it's just not happening/working right now. Since my way isn't working then I'm going to just ask for some help.
Good luck (everyone!), it's been great just to post (my first time too-)
Crystal
