I need help staying motivated

Hi my name is Alicia. I joined sp on 1/10/08 I am currenlty 320lbs. I always told myself that I would never go over 300lbs and when i got there i got more depressed and just gave up trying to eat better. Before I joined SP I used to weigh 324lbs. I have reached a breaking point where i just cannot take it any longer. And i needed to be in a place where I feel that people had almost the same obstacles to climb over like I do. I am not an outgoing person, but putting all this info down is ...

I always told myself that I would never go over 300lbs and when i got there i got more depressed and just gave up trying to eat better. Before I joined SP I used to weigh 324lbs. I have reached a breaking point where i just cannot take it any longer. And i needed to be in a place where I feel that people had almost the same obstacles to climb over like I do. I am not an outgoing person, but putting all this info down is helping me with my first step. To admit that I need help. I need to get motivated and stay motivated and with spark people I know that will help. I need to have online help. I was able to read alot of peoples msgs that's why i can write my own and admitting that i have an issue is the first big step that i have just accomplished.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED SPARK PEOPLE I WEIGHED 320LBS. As of 5/02/08 I weighed 298.8

I jumped of the wagon for almost a year and felt every ounce of fat the crept back on. But I am determined yet again to triumph forward. With God on my side I will not hide and I will keep moving on.

emoticon Thanks for dropping by my page...it is always so nice to hear from you!!! Hey Alicia...you need to post an updated blog to let all our enquiring minds know what you and little Chantel have been up to!!! Plus, your new plans for your lifestyle change! I am just trying to bust free from the three hundreds...my gosh, they have been with me since my twenties. However, I also was at 300 plus pounds when I was about 16 years old and got down to 196 when I was 17 or 18 years old....I gained everything back about time my daughter was born. It keeps sticking with me, seems like my body likes being at that weight, that is for sure!!! I want to be out of the three hundreds and into the two hundreds by my second year anniversary on Spark...I am shooting for 250 pounds!

It is rainy here and getting colder each day. We have had to put the heater on several times, which I dread, as I know our electric bill is going to be quite high. If I lived alone, I would probably keep the heater off until December. Oh well!

Hugs to you Alicia and little Chantel!!! Happy October!!!

Hello Alicia...I wrote this earlier to one of my SPARKFRIENDS and I have decided to share this with a few others:

You know, when I first started here on SPARKPEOPLE I was so depress, lonely, isolated and in so much pain. When people started commenting on my blogs...the darkness and despair I felt started to lift, that is what gave me the desire to keep up with this site. I finally had people that understood what I was feeling, people that cared and gave me the support I so desperately need. I love, love, love to write, but my heart is in blogging with humor! I was totally AMAZED when I had so many people replying to my blogs, I was ELATED, people were paying attention to me, paying attention to a morbidly obese woman that literally had been isolated from the general public for over five years, due to my own doing. Well, my blogging then became a slight obsession in a way, trying to get the next funny blog out, that I started to forget why I was on SPARKPEOPLE...because people saw me, they made me feel wanted, I no longer felt invisible...through my humor. I have toned down my humor (although an optimist and light hearted person is mainly that defines who I am) in my blogging for a bit so that I can get serious about saving my life with making all this healthier lifestyle changes, let me tell you, at 372 pounds, I was knocking on death's door! I could bearly walk, my lips were purple, I could not sleep at night due to my body aches and I lived life through my dreams, as my waking hours were too painful to face. I have lost most of my supporters from earlier on, sometimes it bothers me, but then, I know who I am and why I have to get more serious with this. Those that stuck by me through thick and thin is very telling! The song that keeps coming into my head is "You were just too fabulous to think about us!" that is how I relate my humorous blogs (fabulous) with my lifestyle change (to think about us). I had to made a decision to try to get myself back on track and work on saving me. I am still that funny gal...just ask my friends and co-workers-I love to laugh, joke and just be happy. I do not know why I am telling you all of this...I guess I just want to thank you for being one of the ones that stuck by me. Thank you!
