But i've ALWAYS had weight issues too. I went from being a stick as a kid to being over weight in my early teens. The only reason why i was small when i met mike was the guy i dated before mike was my first bf and i was afaird to eat in front of him so I think i starved myself for a year. I was so happy with my weight though, I was skinny and "hot stuff" but then i met mike and felt more comfortable with myself and have gained 55lbs in the past 7 years. College is what killed me though, and then I just love food so much i can't control myself anymore. I hide chocolate in my undie drawer for gosh sasks. mike does complain becuase he knows i'm very unhappy with myself and he misses me "smaller" again. I don't ever want to be as small as i was but if i could fit in a 12 or 13 again, that would be wonderful. I'm like you, i want it but the working with no results is frustrating. I'm less then i was in the summer but can't fit in my darn clothes. Thats what i'm dealing with right now. I guess i'm sorta lucky cuz no one will ever know my weight looking at me, I hide it well. But i know the truth and it depresses me all the time. I just tell myself i never want to get to the point were my weight stops me from doing stuff. I've had strech marks since i was 11 or 12 because i gained to quickly. I sucks all around. So we can cry together, ok?! lolCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072478528376462955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228315906119448265.post-65408161922579116952008-11-03T16:05:00.000-05:002008-11-03T16:05:00.000-05:00I hear ya!! Have you tried Weight Watchers?? Bec...I hear ya!! Have you tried Weight Watchers?? Because it really did the trick for me back before I got pg the first time. I was able to find all the points info online and did it w/o paying them :) Unfortunately, that info is no longer available for free :( I started out weighing 163 lbs and I'm 5'2". I started out eating about 1350 calories and lost 1.5-2 lbs a week. Once I got to 150 lbs I cut back to about 1150 calories to continue losing weight. I made it to 135 in about 3 months, and I did NOT exercise. Exercising makes me too hungry and I end up eating more. <BR/>I don't know the answer for you, but I wonder about your metabolism... do the rx you take affect weight loss? MIL had that problem for many years.<BR/>Big Hugs, and know that we love you regardless :) Feel free to complain away!!<BR/>Oh, and I still have 5+ lbs to get to my pre-Leah weight and 15+ lbs to get to my pre-Elijah weight... and the flabby belly that makes me look 4 months preggo, yeah, that's lovely too, lolBrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269464228066647267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228315906119448265.post-88001640990106591202008-11-03T12:26:00.000-05:002008-11-03T12:26:00.000-05:00I know were you are coming from, I fight that same...I know were you are coming from, I fight that same fight every single day. Something I find I have to remind myself on a regular basis is that just cause the scale dosnt change dosnt mean that the rest of you hasnt. Your more physically fit then you were before and dont forget that you have probably gained some muscle which is heavier then fat. maybe try taking some measurements that may bring up your spirits.<BR/>love ya<BR/>JennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
