People are asking "Why are you even dieting?" I look "OK" to them apparently.
Well here is my list of reasons:
My weight is all around my middle so that is not good. My BMI is in the morbidly obese catagory for my height (5 feet) and that is a heart attack waiting to happen.I do not want to have a heart attack or stroke and be an invalid at 55. Plus I am not ready to die just yet.
My clothes do not fit the way I want them to & it is hard to shop for nice clothes! All the bigger sizes look matronly!
I want to be able to walk without complaining of tiredness, sore knees and a sore back. I need to lose 100 pounds. That amount of weight is like carrying around a 9 year old all day long.
I do not feel attractive to my mate and it does not matter that he thinks I am alright as is. He is too kind!
No one in my family is over weight. So they do not have any food issues. I am not sure if the understand why I do.
My thin friends seem willing to sabbatoge my efforts.
Basically I am just tired if being this way and it is time to do something about my food addiction. If I were an alcholic my friends would intervene to help me stop drinking. With food addiction you are the brunt of jokes and cruel comments and no one seems to see it as a health problem.
So if I could be happy and healthy and accept my body as fat I would. But I am unhappy and unhealthy in this state.
I am attempting to journal the journey from fat to fit. I started to consider blogging on February the 12th 2010. I spent a long time researching and hemming and hawing about dieting because dieting has failed me in the past. So come June 15th I decided to try Dr. Stillman's.I am not sure what possessed me to try this but I am so tired of being overweight..... we shall see how it all goes!
