Comments on: I Wear My Obesity Well http://treerootandtwig.com/2009/06/01/i-wear-my-obesity-well/ A Personal Blog About Parenting and Products Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: LCM http://treerootandtwig.com/2009/06/01/i-wear-my-obesity-well/comment-page-1/#comment-2327 LCM Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:07:16 +0000 http://happyarewe.wordpress.com/?p=1620#comment-2327 I lost 30lbs about 6 years ago and I started with Oprah and Bob Greene's book. It gave me a lot to think about. I used to be one of those girls who insisted that she never sweated. And now you know I wear that with a badge of honor, a wet badge. What I do now is for my kids. My genetics and medical history work against me and the quickest way to kill myself would be to gain weight. You can do it! The kids need you and you want to be there. Good luck. Let me know if you want to talk Y any time soon. I lost 30lbs about 6 years ago and I started with Oprah and Bob Greene’s book. It gave me a lot to think about.

Something that's REALLY helped me this year is to have a group of friends to report to. My sister and I had babies three months apart last year, and both wanted to lose the baby weight. Enter - Friendly Competition! Whoever gets to their goal weight the FASTEST gets a set of handmade napkins from the other twin. We've extended the competition to be a support group with our friends. There are 10 of us, and we've all promised Presents to the other 9 when they reach their goals. I know what you mean - I carry weight rather well. My (120 lb) mother used to compliment me on it. If you DON'T have a group of friends who are game for a little Present Giving, e-mail me. There's always room in our little posse. :-) You can DO it!

Your family genetics work against you...on both sides. They work against me as well. You have a long life ahead of you and since we're all living longer I guess we'd better make sure we have some quality of life! It will take hard work and focus....it won't be easy. I can relate to the high blood pressure! Been taking it since I delivered you and Jen. It is what it is Honey...BUT you CAN change it! Especially with what is available now. You HAVE to be around for those kidlets...even after they're grown! You get it. xoxoxoxoxoxo :) Stac-my concern is with your health. Your family genetics work against you…on both sides.

A food diary sounds like an excellent idea. I'm sure I would be shocked if I actually wrote it all down. Good luck!
