I am a big fat girl...........

How did this happen? I grew up always being skinny.......super skinny.  I never had to watch what I ate.

Then over the  years the scale kept increasing.  First 169lbs, then 175lbs and then 190lbs.  After topping the scales at 250 I was still in denial.  Then one day at my OBGYN a doctor in training asked if I had a referral for gastric bypass.  I was just floored.  I remember thinking "Hey buddy, you are twice as big as me". 

I would blame my shrinking clothes on the dryer.  Too much heat I would think.  After a while my belly became as big as my boobs.  *UGH*  I realized "I am a big fat girl........".

I tried Medifast last year and lost 50lbs and gained back 34lbs when I stopped the program. 

Here I go again, it is day three and I think I am doing pretty well.  I haven't deviated from my path.

Hi there!

That is cool you are from Hawaii!  You can do this.  This is an awesome support system.  Hope to hear from you again!

Be Strong

This is a journey that you are on.  And it does take time and sometimes a lot of it to reach your destination. 

You will live each day so why not live it healthy.  You can do this.  We all get discouraged and want to give up, however, if you tell yourself that "giving up" is not an option and you are in this for the long haul....YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.  I do want to wish you good luck. 

This weight loss journey is not an easy task, but it is something we can do, if we give it our all.   Chargail
