Wow. That's all I could sit there and say for about 5 minutes after reading Michelle's Post. I can't believe she said it. I can't believe she put it out there. She is a very, very brave woman. She is inspiring, and I am truly beginning to feel a kinship with this woman and believe that God has 'put us together' in bloggyland for a reason. I seriously believe we are meant to help each other.
Thank you Michelle for inspiring me. Hi. My name is Kristen. I'm a compulsive eater. I'm also a closet eater. I don't want to hide it anymore. I'm going to shout it from the rooftops. The only way I'm going to fix this is if I admit it and move on. With help from some friends (both real and blogger friends) and the Lord I can overcome anything. You will too. And then we will help other people. Heck--we may even help some people while on our own journey. Are you in?
I'm going to start blogging about my weight loss journey. I'll splice some entries in with everything else....after all--don't many Stay-At-Home Moms have the same issues? I'm sure they do. We can't be the only ones. I'm calling out all you moms (and dads) who have issues with food. You eat constantly, you eat when you're upset, you eat in secret.....whatever it is--you have issues and you need to resolve them before you can lose this weight and keep it off. Join me in my journey...I'll post a Mr. Linky on this post. Link up and we can all help each other. Please link to a post about the issue at hand though--no advertising your products, etc. like I've seen on some other blogs. If you want to lose weight and you're serious put it out there...
I weigh 234 pounds. I'm 5'7 and 3/4". I'm not healthy at all. I've recently quit smoking but I still can't run around and play with my kids like I should be able to. My knees and back ache from the extra weight I'm carrying. My dad is diabetic, so was his dad. My maternal grandmother was also diabetic. I must have a death wish. Why else would I be so heavy? DIABETES KILLS PEOPLE!!
I used to be thin. Too Thin. I used to weigh less than 140 lbs.....and I had chicken legs and a skeleton face. I'll find a picture and show you. Neither one is healthy. I don't want to be unhealthy. I want to live to see my children grow up and get married and have babies. Yes, I've birthed 3 children...but that's no excuse....truth be told I had gained quite a bit of weight before I got preggo the first time.
I have a problem with eating. I eat when I'm upset--mad, sad, whatever....if I'm upset I eat. That would be emotional eating. I also eat when I'm bored or just have nothing to do. That would be compulsive eating--I can drive by a pizza restaraunt and not have been hungry....but smelling that food instantly makes me want it. I am also a closet eater. I eat in secret. I'm ashamed of what I'm eating (and the massive quantities) so I do it when no one is watching.
Will anyone join me? I know that I don't have a massive quantity of followers like some people but even if you're just perusing my blog and this interests you--Sign Up!! I will be coming up with a prize and rules over the next few days...and I'll have to base the prize on how many people (if any) sign up for this....I don't exactly have a loyal following yet!!..and I'll have to get a button for that too lol....but I'm going to put myself out there in hopes of helping myself and maybe someone else. Hopefully Michelle will join me!! Tweet about it if you're on twitter, tell your friends, whatever....let's get the word out and get healthy!!
This is the start of......THE BLOGGEST LOSER
tweet it, blog about it and let your readers know (with a link back to me)....help me get the word out....
