Weight Gain
I have to face facts. As much as I’d rather hide my head in the sand about this I have to accept that I am gaining too much weight. I haven’t weighed myself but I can tell because my clothes are getting too tight and I can see that bulge around my tummy.
Feeling very selfish because I have so many restrictions from being chronically ill, I want to have something in life that I can enjoy with no strings attached and it’s been food. Wrong, I know but I’ve been using food to make me happy. I love eating. When I was young, I was very thin and could eat anything and not gain weight. So I got used to that.
When I was young and was upset or anxious, I couldn’t eat. Now I eat more. I’m becoming embarrassed by my looks and need to make some major changes. I don’t wear anything that is too tight-fitting because it shows my stomach. I can’t remember the last time I wore sexy lingerie, well because.
This is the time for New Year’s Resolutions. Tons of people say they want to lose weight but for me, I have not only my self-esteem at stake I have my health at stake too. This should be the incentive I need to get on the right track of eating healthy again and doing the kind of exercise that I am able.
Hi Connie,
Congratulations on writing such an honest post.
This alone is a very good first step in reclaiming your self-esteem.
Remember that you can still indulge from time to time, don’t be too strict with what you are eating.
As you have said, eating healthy and balanced food will get you back on track.
Keep us posted

Thanks Sally for giving me kudos on my post. It was tough to write. I will continue to write about what I’m doing to eat healthy.
Connie dont sweat it! you probably had a high metabolism when you where young, thats why you ate and didnt gain weight, and by age your metabolism slowed down.
My suggestion to go back to how you were when you were young would be to do alot of workouts at the gym, this will boost your metabolism again and eat food that speed up metabolism.
This way you will lose weight automatically.
