Months ago, I was bound & determined to start back on a diet & lose weight....then in the fall, I hurt my left foot, developed colitis; in the new year, I hurt my right heel, and 2 weeks ago my hammertoe on right foot had gotten so bad it needed surgery....so, being an "emotional eater", I am up about 20 pounds, and nothing fits...wearing my elastic waist shorts & baggy tops!!
Tomorrow is June 1st & I am finally going to start back on WW...am a lifetime member (from 45 years back, and a 100 pounds ago! Hope to get in on the positive emotions I have been reading here, and want to congratulate you all on the recent losses!!!
Thanks in advance for any support & positive comments (don't need any negative ones...my clothes & mirror give me enough of those!!).

There should be no reason for negative comments. We all slide backwards some times and all we can do is try our best in the future. I too am an emotional eater so I can understand. Good luck and don't give up. smiley

No negative comments here just support. I am in the same boat elastic and baggy tops. Hate it. I've done WW but it stalls me after 10lbs. Been doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred but my leg is injured from it. Figures you try to do something good for yourself and it backfires...lol. I'm trying to let the leg heal and get back to it. Good luck! I feel your struggle!

Just take things day by day.. Easier to get through one day if you look at it that way instead of just looking at your long term results! Eventually you figure out what works best for you and just keep working at it. Lots of positive folks on here!

i have been through the same face of emotional eating although it was becasue i have had a lot of personal issues with my family and my relationship. i have gained 20 pounds becasue of this and i reconciled with myself and promised to try to live more healthier this time around and so far i have lost very little but then i am happy becasue i know that i am really making conscious decisions of opting for the healthy options.,I am sure you will be able to achieve this and you will surely be happy no matter what the outcome is.

I'm just so proud of you. The strength to begin again... to make those choice-at-a time decisions. Four pounds-in the direction you want to go! That is great! I'm proud of you too for putting it out there and asking for support. This is a great place, as you know. So, you got it!!! (())
