Hello, Please feel free to move this if I have posted in the wrong spot.
Hi, My name is Melissa, I am 165 pounds, almost 31 years old, a special education teacher in Ohio and unhappy. This is the largest I have ever been and I am sad. I was anorexic in high school. Not eating anything was easier then eating less and I still battle that fight everyday. I eat healthy almost all of the time, choosing to eat fruits and veggies and things before sweets...though I love chocoate and cherry coke. I gave up all pop for lent again this year, and lost not one single pound. Poop. I have now switched to diet since yesterday and have had a revelation after reading page 122 in the new Redbook magazine that I recieved in the mail. I have 38 days til I leave for disney and I do not want to be like this anymore. I never put myself first, love to be outside, though ohio weather right now sucks, love to craft jewelry and other things, and spent $168.00 tonight on frozen low fat dinners and 100 calorie snacks to meet my new 1200 calorie healthy weight program. (I hate the word diet, its a four letter word...ever since I was sick in high school, no problem with anyone else using the term though
) I am going to also partake in the "walking to disney" on my treadmill, of which I just bought a DVD for the Tv in front of it, so I can watch disney planning movies while I walk. The woman in the magazine lost 18 pounds her first month and 13 her second. I feel I have hope. One day at a time. I have the dinners tied together with yarn in my freezer and dated for the next 3 weeks, I have 8 boxes of the 100 calorie snacks, 2 per day in addition to the food and low calorie breakfast cereal, fruit and yogurts in the fridge. I am type A and ultra organized. It helps with the special ed thing, and I also work at an accounting firm during tax season. Another reason why I have been so busy. Any words of encouragement? Or anyone who has done it in this way? I am feeling a little wierd, but it's what works for me...My sister took one look at shook her head, and told me "only you, and I know it's going to work for you too". I have also been on calorieking.com and have been checking "normal" not frozen foods too, because I know I will be eating out and at my parents house numerous times over the next month. TIA for listening to my long messy post. Missy

:
i powerwalk and try to as much as possible outside. gloves, hat and all.....i really actually love walking in the cool crisp air, but about 20 degrees in my limit. remember when you walk outside to dress as though it's 10 degrees higher b/c you will warm up. my inner layers are always wet from sweat even in the chilly crappy ohio weather
