Hello to all who have found Susan's website. I'm the "Jayne" Susan has been blogging to. Amazing....I had to share that while it has only been 3 days. 3...I feel so much better. To Jennifer B.You can do this. Just today, Just this minute, choose to get out of bed and walk. If I can walk, YOU can walk. Depression is so hard. I've been there. You've found the right place to start. Keep us all posted. Sending strength to you and everyone here. Here we go everyone......

I found your message to Jayne inspiring. I have to act now. I'm beyond excuses and failures.
I weighed 404 pounds. I could barely move. I knew I had to do something drastic. I had a gastric bypass. And then I was in this daze of wonderment. By the end of the first year I lost 165 pounds. And I was happy, could move. For the first 4 years I maintained that weight loss. I still didn't exercise but I walked from time to time. |

Continued - Last year I hit 50. And something changed. Although I can't eat very much at one time, Im gaining weight. At first I wasn't alarmed. But today. I weight 278 pounds. 33 pounds in 1 1/2 years. And I'm scared. I dont want to continue. And all my lose skin that hangs and is a constant reminder of where I was, and the too tight clothes that makes me so painfully aware that I'm gaining and have failed once again is killing my spirit.

Cont - Part 3
Why am I doing this to myself, over and over again? And then I found this blog 4 or 5 days ago.. and it has given me hope. Hope that I can gain control. Hope that I don't have to do this immediately but take steps. Something is better than nothing. And perhaps I finally realized that I have to move, to exercise, to eat every 2 hours and make healthy choices. |

Cont - Final: So for today I made the decision to think. To begin to change my perception of movement and realize the lack of it has gotten me to this place.
Thanks for your informative posts. I'll come back often... and then some more. I feel that the fog that has kept me blind, and the fat that imprisoned my soul, is shifting, allowing me to glance a healthy attitude and lifestyle filled with passion as opposed to nothing.

Im scared. Morbid obesity-the title I have earned. humiliated. Im not this flesh that hinders my everyday living. Im not meant to be this tired, out of breath, aching, stagnant woman at 35. I long for freedom. Freedom from this fat suit. I want it so much yet it seems so far away, a distant dream that'll never become reality. I know what I have to do. But the pain is so intense. How do you go beyond that pain to move to live? I need to lose close to 200. How can i possibly do that on my own?

Wow...good for you. Like you, I'm so glad to have found this site.I'm amazed that I stayed in an unhealthy lifestyle for SO long. I actually believed all the excuses I was spouting.” I’ll always be big." "I need it to be effortless" Guess What?… (And remember I've been doing this for 5 days) There is JOY in the effort. JOY in watching my family eat real food and loving it. JOY in having more energy at night for my kids, housework, and my husband. My best to you Angela D. |

Your post made me cry. I have close to 145 lbs to lose. Two words have turned the "light" on for me. "Just Today" So just for today, move more than you did yesterday. Like Susans says...if you get out of breath just slow down, but keep moving. It sounds too simple...but in just this week I can being to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Lets do this together. You are not alone. Don't waste any more time regretting where you've been. Just start from today. Just Today. |
