Nervous & Scared, But I'm Going To Join The WISH Family

[DiznEeyore]

Welcome, Liz!

I have to tell you that your story sounds so much like mine! I'm 5'1" and am 161.5, but that number was much higher last year. I did WW, lost 20 lbs., then put a bunch back on. I'm back doing WW on my own (like you!) and have lost over 10 lbs. since re-starting WW and joining WISH on April 1. I'm also an emotional/stress eater. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to vent to!!

I know you'll love it here. WISH is the most supportive, uplifting place I've found on the 'net. I hope you end up feeling the same way!!

That's how we move on here- by helping each other out!

Sorry I'm late in welcoming you!

So, WELCOME TO WISH!!!!! Glad you decided to join us! You are really smart to tackle your weight loss by breaking it down into small goals! Just wait until you have your first clippie change. It's wonderful!!!!!

Good luck with getting healthier all around! It's going to be a great reward - trust me! By the time you finish making changes, you will wonder why you didn't take any action before! Your life is just going to get better from here on out!!!!

Wow! Like DiszEeyore, I felt like I was reading my own story. We have a lot in common. I am 5'3'' and statred the year at 165. I have lost 10 lbs since then. I am a stress eater too.

My husband is currently laid off. He was laid off for 9 month, worked for 3 and is now laid off again. I also struggled with fertility treatments (I now have 2 beautiful DDs). And I have also cried in front of my boss. It really makes me angry when I do that because she's a woman and I think it makes me look weak! But all she has to do is mention that I could be doing better and the tears start welling up in my eyes.

Anyway, maybe you can see the similarities also. You are going to love it here. Welcome!!!!
