07/18/2009 I am a emotional eater. I eat my feelings. When I'm happy,mad,sad,or glad I eat. Day or night I eat. I don't like the way I feel on the inside or how I look on the outside. I am desperately in need of help. I am open for suggestions and could use some support and encouragement.

08/31/2009 I have an attitude of gratitude today because SP has been a blessing for me. In 2007,I ran across SP by searching for ways to lose weight. I liked the site right away but I was going to do it alone without the boards. Needless to say it didn't work. When I came back this time,I was desperate enough to follow any and all suggestion that was given to me. It's been 45 days and I have loss a total of 21 pounds. I couldn't have down it without the support and encouragement I find here. I am so grateful to SP and the teams because you're helping me reclaim my life. For that I am truly grateful.

I'm not where I want to be but thank God,I'm not where I used to be.

09/19/2009 It's been 2 months and I'm down 24 pounds and my self-esteem is going up,my stress level is down,but most of all,the guilt is going away. I don't know if you can get with that but I'm talking about the guilt you feel when you have just finished eating a whole cake or a jumbo/family pack of cookies. The guilt you feel when you are scheduled for your annual PAP. The humiliation of opening up and your fatty legs is sagging. As a matter of fact my last PAP on July 17,2009 was the turning point for me because the RN was having a hard time trying to latch on to my cervix and she says,"The bigger you are makes it harder to latch on". I was already embarrassed and that just made me feel worse. Now that I look back on it,I thank God for Juanita(the RN)because that day changed my life. I go back to see my doctor on the 28 of this month and cannot wait. I hope Juanita is there so that I can thank her because I know she wasn't being ugly,she was just telling the truth.

I've dropped 2 sizes and I need to find a thrift store fast because my clothes is hanging off of me. I refuse buy knew clothes because my journey isn't over yet.

11/13/2009 Today is my birthday and I'm 36 y/o. When I look back,I see how far I've come. I have so much to be grateful for. God has been so good to me. He has given me a desire to want to change. He has blessed me with my family. He has given me good health, strength, and my sobriety. I see things differently today because He has taken the veil from my eyes and now I can see more clearly. I'm no longer looking through the "crazy" glass.

I thank Him for SparkPeople and the Teams because you guys is helping in MY journey to better health and weight. The resources, support and encouragement that I get on a daily basis,is truly helping to create a Happy Healthier ME! For that,I AM TRULY GRATEFUL!

I'm coming up on my 4 month Sparkversary and I'm 29 pounds lighter than when I first started. I am so proud of all the accomplishments I've made so far. But the highlight of the month for me was when I realized my booty was jiggling all over the place. My body is firming up. Thank God for miracles!

I'm not where I want to be but I thank God I'm making the necessary changes to get there.
