Obesity Support Group
This community is dedicated to those of us struggling with obesity. Obesity is thought to be a significant risk factor in certain health conditions, leading to increased mortality. Find the support you need by sharing your story, asking questions, and learning from others on how they have coped.
I just joined the group today and thought I would relate my humor to you. So, I cleaned out my closet and found that the evil gnomes have struck again; but this time instead of stealing one of my socks from the dryer...they went after my clothes and shrunk a lot of things I used to wear.
I must have thrown out 8 pairs of blue jeans that I couldn't wear anymore. Seriously though...that was a little depressing, trying on the clothes to see what I could wear and what I couldn't. I would like to lose about 60 to 70 pounds altogether and I know this is going to be difficult to say the least. I hope everyone is doing well today. I look forward to talking with everybody :D If anybody needs a good laugh just let me know...I'm usually pretty good at coming up with something that will at least make you smile.

I sort of changed my mindset this time around. I'm not on a diet. I've just changed the way I shop, cook and eat! It's been fun finding new recipes or healthier ways to fix old ones. Some days I cut myself a bit more slack than others in terms of what I eat. Compared to a lot of people it's been slow going - but it's going and i'm honestly enjoying what I eat.
Find something that works for the way you like to eat and the foods you like to eat. Now is a good time to start! The fresh fruit and veggies are starting to really come into the stores now they taste AH-MA-ZING! Everyone has pre-made salad bowls that are tasty and FAST for when you dont' have a lot of time.
Hope you've held on to at least 1 pair of those blue jeans. I believe you can be back in them in a while. And let me tell you, that experience of having a favorite piece of clothing fit again is wonderful!
