Please don't let that frighten you. I didn't like telling everyone the amount I need to lose either. But it helped somehow. Love yourself now, before you start to lose weight. I need to listen to my own words. Let's take it slow like LilLamb says. "One day at a time."I'm just so disappointed, because I was doing so well before I had gotten pregnant. I had lost 30 lbs. and was feeling much more in control of myself. When I got pregnant though, I had to eat all the time to keep from feeling faint. I didn't gain weight, but my body was changing in some dramatic ways. That urge to eat the whole house didn't just stop when we lost Ezra though. Unfortunately, I stopped battling with it, because I was so sad. Now that I am feeling emotionally "better", I have a ton of weight to lose and my fuel gauge doesn't work.
My goodness. I stood in front of the mirror today in shock, because after stepping on the scale.... I realize that when compared to what BMI charts say is my ideal healthy weight.... I am 100 lbs. overweight. Is it possible to swallow one's own head? When I look at myself, I'm not particularly happy. However, I didn't realize that it was THAT bad. *sigh* I could be perfectly happy to only lose 80 lbs. or so. I have no driving need to be really slim. I just want to be healthier. Still, even saying that out loud (or typing it to other people!) is stunning and horrifically frightening. Ugh.
I don't tend to enjoy chewing gum very much, for some strange reason. I keep a little bit around from time to time, but not with any real regularity. I tried chewing more gum to keep me from snacking, and it just didn't help much. For me, it isn't just about having my mouth moving. I just think that my "I'm full" sensor is broken. lol
Since I have a hard time telling when I am actually satisfied, I'm having to rely on vegetables to fill me up, and then I eat my more calorie-dense protein. Otherwise, I can eat and eat without feel a real cut-off point. The veggies are helping though. If I pair them with a fruit, then my mouth doesn't feel so deprived, since I have a sweet-tooth that just won't quit. This morning, it is tomato and a plum... and probably some organic peanut butter or hummus.

So sorry about the loss of your son. Sadness leaves little room for comfort. Food fits the bill nicely....for a while. 2 1/2 years ago, before my daughter's wedding, I lost 35 pounds. Shortly after that, I had to have surgery, then I got fibromyalgia, then my depression kicked in big time. I've since, gained 50lbs. Let's build each other up here. We can't turn back the clock, we can only move forward.
On a lighter note... I found a cute picture...
I blew it and ate popcorn last night. Starting again today.....
