I ordered the book yesterday and decided that I have to do this for me. I asked my boyfriend and mother to support me on this and I know my mother will. My boyfriend said what does it involve...I nearly broke down crying. This is hard for me to admit that I have to lose weight. I have been on every conceivable diet made and known to man.
My boyfriend doesn't have a weight problem but in the end he will support me. I am embarrassed to meet new couples who want to hire me as their wedding planner. I am out of breath at the wedding doing the stuff that needs to be done. I am tired of looking frumpy in the clothes i have. I want to be able to wear a nice pant suit for the couples i am hired to do their wedding for and be able to move around with ease.
I want to be able to walk in the park with my boyfriend without people staring at me lumbering along the path and making fun of me. Our intention was to go for walks every day but i felt uncomfortable. my big calves are disgusting and i hide under long skirts. I can't get a pair of boots to fit properly. struggling to get into pantyhose and socks is the last rope.
I start a new me and a new thinking. I have to...

I can understand how you feel. I am a teacher and there are times it is hard to walk around the room and talk at the same time! I am so fed up with this but it seems so hard to lose any weight. I've tried all kinds of programs like weight watchers etc... but I'm hoping with my husband's support this will be the program and the year! It would be nice to be able to give a lecture without loosing my breath :)
Well I am really hoping that this is the one diet that won't fail me. Like you i have been on weight watchers, Richard Simmons, Mediterrean diet, the south beach diet and all failed....i did manage to lose 100 lbs going to a doctor once but plateaued for a year and couldn't move the scale either way...got me down so i chugged food down me again.
My boyfriend met me when i was heavy so I don't know what will happen when i start to lose weight. I love him dearly and would never leave him.
I want to do wedding planning full time but until i can do things without being out of breath and trouble walking around I don't feel it is right for any brides to hire me. I am a good planner but i am kidding myself to think that i can do a good job when i can barely bend over to pick things up off the floor if they fall. I want to look good in what i wear to represent my company.
Lets stick together and push each other...i know you can do it...i know i can...we just need to believe it ourselves...

Absolutly we can do it! My husband met me when I was big too and there have been times when I think he has been trying to sabatoge me :( but that stems from his own issues. I want to be able to walk around the room and lecture at the same time without having to take a break to catch my breath! It is very embarrasing in front of teenagers. All too often my name gets turned from Mrs. Hughes to Mrs. Huge and it sucks. Usually I try to laugh it off but it still stings. I think what will help me this time is I really want to do this for myself. I'm no longer to try to lose weight to find a guy or impress anyone but I'm going to do it for me, so I feel better and look better because I want to not because it is how someone expects me to look or wants me to look. I hope this change in attitude will translate into a change in weight! I've started keeping a journal about dieting and losing weight in hopes it will help me see progress and stay on track. We can do it :) We just have to stick together and share strength. Things are always better when you have someone to do them with.
