My Healthy me Challenge Introduction

I've always been over weight. My grand mother taught me to appreciate good food. She was a wonderful cook. She showed love by taking care of you and what better way to be taken care of than being fed? I sure was loved! I steady gained an average of 10 pounds a year since i was born. Except when i dieted about 5 years again and lost 40 pounds but i hurt my ankle and quickly undid all the hard work i had done. So, now I'm 34 weigh 306 and miserable. I've only attempted once before to lose weight and was quite successful, i felt great, i could even cross my legs again. (There's me a nonscale goal). I've been trying for about 2 months now to diet again and I just CAN'T. I can't get it going. I've bought all the right foods and done all the research but just can't do it. I'm going to bed now and tomorrow morning is a new day and I WILL DO IT. (not much of an intro, huh?)

Hi Wendi, That was a perfectly fine intro - and I'm so glad to 'meet' you! Like Carleen said, we are all here for you and each other...I am feeling sort of overwhelmed by everything too. I amtrying to do just a little - set the bar low. It is OK to set it low. Five minutes of doing something will feel good - on any of your list of goals.

Mind you I have not done five minutes of anything much today, so much for that :)

Happy rest of the weekend - Lidian

I was gonna tell you, back in the earlier entries of my blog (September-ish) I posted more recipes. It actually started off as a food blog (hence the name Teale's Meals!), but I got side tracked. LOL. If you check back in the old entries you may find some things you like (some with pictures)
