Today is the first day of the rest of my life. It's sounds so cliché, but it fits today. The last few years have been pretty rough. Most people go through at least one natural disaster, life change, sickness once in their life. For me, we survived a category 5 hurricane in Oct '18, parents got cancer, dad dementia, near-death surgery, empty nesters, became grandparents, found my birth family, bought a house (after ours was destroyed in the storm), lost my best friend to cancer (same days as closing)...it all hit in 2-3 years. I've struggled just to get out of bed most days. I eat my emotions, good or bad. The last six months have drank just as bad, which is something I've never done. I went into a store Friday and tried on their biggest off the shelf shirt; it was too small. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror. 291 lbs on a 5'6 frame is daunting. It hurts. Physically and emotionally. I'm done. I have a hundred pounds to lose and will do it a pound at a time. Today is day one.

Great attitude!! You can do it.... write a list of "why's" Why do you want to change your life? keep them with you, refer to them when things get tough and you want to give in!! helps tremendously! 👍

I can totally relate on the “life hurricane”. On my last Birthday, I closed on my new house and that night my dear friend was stabbed to death, leaving her profoundly disabled child a ward of the state. Two months later my (paraplegic)husband got an infection from a small pressure sore which then went septic, he was hospitalized 3 times and spent the next six months in a hospital bed in my living room. I had to leave my job to work from home at a lower paying position so I could care for him. I was hospitalized with Pneumonia/Pleurisy in November and have had 2 surgeries since for kidney stones. In April my husband broke his Femur. My Dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia which progressed very rapidly and he passed in May. Meanwhile I ate my feelings and got up to 206 lbs (I am 5’4”).
This has been rough but I am focused on my own health now and working hard to incorporate self care into my life.
I hope things get better for you, I am here if you need support.

Thanks y'all, for the support. As my mom says, when it rains it pours. We have to take care of ourselves or we won't be able to take care of those who need us. I believe that.

Welcome!! I'm a emotional eater and sweet addict. Taking it one step at a time. My stats are pretty much the same as yours. I totally understand how being stressed and depressed to the max, can effect our choices and amounts we consume! We can do this, determination, healthy choices, plus a healthy mind set and we will succeed!! 😊👍🏻💖

I've been where you are and several things on your list were also on mine...I sometimes look at my timeline of weight loss when it gets rough. It took me almost exactly 9 months to lose 100 lbs. I focused on one day, one meal at a time, kept plugging along. Planning is huge for me, it really helps. What we go through can either make us or break us. Choose to make it! You CAN do it!!!

I’m started again, 3 days ago. This app and community has bet helpful in the past. I plugged in what I ate for a bit over two years. Worked great. I got to the point I thought I could go without, but life changes... I just started eating more cakes etc. Now is the time for me also. Each day plug in EVERYTHING you eat. A great way to be mindful. Welcome!

I have never had that amount of tragedy to overcome but I have eaten myself to 300 pounds (so no excuses for me besides gluttony) and you are right- One day at a time! Excited to see your progress! Keep checking in.

You certainly have the motivation but do you have a plan in mind? That is so important. There have been people here who have had tremendous success doing different types of ways of eating (WOE). Personally I am a portion control, moderation— eating healthier most of the time and less healthy once in a while person. Also consider a critical assessment of your physical activity. Exercise and strength training are dynamic duos. You can do this.

Sometimes the only thing we can do is curl up in a ball and wait for time to pass. You'll know when the time is right for you to start moving again. Today IS the first day of your life. Do what you feel is best for you at the time you feel is best for you. It's okay to make yourself your priority.

You have had a lot going on in your life in a short amount of time. You can do this! It does take patience, diligence, logging and deficits. You've been strong enough to get through those tough times. I know you can be strong enough to stick to a good plan. Congrats on taking the first steps!
