I'm so impressed with what you've accomplished so far. You've inspired me to get my rear end in gear and quit procrastinating. I'm not getting any younger and I can really feel how abusive I've been to my body. My knees hurt all the time and I just don't have much energy. I'm in my 40's and I've struggled with my weight since my teen years. I just want to encourage you to keep going. It doesn't matter how long it takes you, just keep heading in the right direction. You can do it!Sharynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049946550325619818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173380075538212357.post-7700323560291919692010-10-28T08:14:52.627-04:002010-10-28T08:14:52.627-04:00Amy,

Losing the weight is not easy and keeping the pounds off is the other half of this journey. Many of us cannot do this alone. Reaching out and connecting with others helps. Keep writing and keep doing - you can get healthy and lose the weight one day at a time!<br />If you are interested, I blog at keepingthepoundsoff.com . My starting weight was 385 lbs (the day I turned 40 ) and today I am 49 and weigh 172 lbs. I KNOW you can do it!Jane Cartellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655507125048588634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173380075538212357.post-79341146200705640192010-10-17T07:11:09.470-04:002010-10-17T07:11:09.470-04:00Hi Amy,

I am 37 yrs old and am 5'10" tall and weigh just over 300 lbs (I just hit the 300 lb mark a few weeks back - my highest weight ever, it is painful to look at the number on the scale and even here as I type it- I can't quite believe I've let myself get to this point).<br /><br />Like you I am addicted to food and emotional eating and want nothing more than to have a child. I have been married 6 and a half years to a wonderful man who has loved me through thick and thicker lol (when we met I weighed 220 lbs and I thought that was huge). I can't understand why I am unable to lose this weight despite my desperation to have a child...and I completely agree with you that it boils to not feeling that I am worth it or deserving of good things.<br /><br />I admire your honesty about your struggle over the past few months, it is hard to admit the truth especially to those who are closest to you. I also find Nancy to be so inspirational, I just read her blog and discovered that she was pregnant with her 2nd child. I admit that although I was very happy for her it felt as though a knife was twisting in my heart as I want this so desperately for myself & my husband. Why can't I do this? I am 37 yrs old and time is running out for me!<br /><br />I just wanted to send you a message of support, to let you know that you are not alone in your journey. I am also struggling with the same challenges everyday. I am praying for you and support you in your journey to health, wellness and motherhood.<br /><br />Hang in there Amy, you can do it!<br /><br />KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
