I have been at this for months now and all I have to show for it is several foot/ankle injuries and sweaty clothes. I know I can do this I have done it before..... I mean I was huge my senior year of high school and a in less than a year I went for a size 14 jeans to a size 7, I know I can do this and again right before my wedding I dropped the same weight again. But the last two times it seemed effortless, I didn't even notice that I was losing weight, I didn't noticed until I started to gain it all back.
Why does this time feel so different? I have never been over 200 pounds in my life, I have never had to deal with injuries everyday because of minimal physical activity, I have never dealt with disease, and I HAVE NEVER felt so ashamed of my body the way I do know.
I am a hard time finding the strength in myself to do this anymore. I don't have the support system that I had back in Georgia with my family and 99% of the time I feel alone now. The friends I do have out here has probably never had to deal with weight gain in their lives and are the size of poles. That makes this WORST!!!! I am the biggest marine wife in Monterey county and I can't feel pride for my husband when I look disgusting standing beside him... I don't want to give up but I am tired of this roller coaster.
