[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's hard enough for me, someone who has fought to lose weight her entire life.  I can't even imagine how hard it is for you.  I'm so happy that you're not throwing up all the time and damaging your body but losing is just a completely foreign challenge for you I assume?

I'm 5'8, currently 239, down from 255 at the beginning of June. [b] Ive never been small, normally around 160-170, but i had the curves in all the right places.[/b]  After having children and sitting at a desk for years, it catches up.  I recently started a meal replacement program with Inova.  I've done Jenny, WW, south beach, Atkins, etc.  This is the first time, and the first program I've been in,  that I actually feel like I can lost the weight I want to lose,I feel I have all the tools I need to succeed.

I will pray for you to have the strength to make the first step.  The first step, whether it's going back to therapy, signing up for a weight loss program, or joining a gym, is always the hardest.  I also recommend MyFitnessPal.  There is a user community with some very inspirational stories and before/after photos.

No questions OP, just know that so many of us are there with you.  [/quote]

agreeing with bold statement here. After kids and a more sedentary lifestyle than before I fluctuate all the time. At 5'6 I was 233 after having childrenand felt like I would never get back to the old me again. Like the PP, I tried many diets and somehow the modified Atkins worked the best for me and went down to 175 in a year, then down to 160. it was the healthiest, smallest i had been in such a long time. I believe it was since high school, really.

Long story short, some things in life happen and drag your spirits down. I eat for comfort too and I got depressed and gained most of it BACK. Here I am in the same diet trying again to get down to 180 as a longterm goal. This took loads of time for me to decide that I could do it and find the right time for "me". I'm sorry to hear you are feeling sad and struggling with weight loss. But just think that you beat bulimia. YOU CAN DO THIS!! So proud of you, OP. No questions here just ((hugs))[/quote]
