To complicate the matter I have some hormone imbalance that makes it extremely difficult for me to even lose weight. It IS possible it just takes a LOT of effort on my part. Bless you for making yourself vulnerable in this way!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-32252710938036370362011-06-07T21:42:06.635-04:002011-06-07T21:42:06.635-04:00Karen, you really need to give me a call on this. ...Karen, you really need to give me a call on this. I have lost 30 pounds in six months. It involves some calaie counting but as an educational tool to help you mKe a life style change. For example I would eat mcdonalds 2-3 times a week, now the thought of eating there is kind of repulsive. I am not doing any kind of fad diets and I am not excersizing beyond being active with the kids. I am just making healthier choices but have educated myself on how many calories are In stuff, am no longer making poor choices like I used to do.<br /> -craig<br />CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-13541237401040671082011-06-07T16:14:48.494-04:002011-06-07T16:14:48.494-04:00Who would of known?

You are awesome.<br />I am praying for you.<br />I think I do not pray enough about my own weight loss.<br />I do not think it is as serious as other people's problems, so I don't take it to God. <br />I am so wrong though.<br />I may lose some weight on my own.<br />But with the Lord I know I can make a lifestyle change and keep it off, I just need to give it over to him everyday.<br />Praying for you.<br />Thanks for sharing your story.thechattymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833123021305771365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-25660802898105119302011-06-07T16:06:17.072-04:002011-06-07T16:06:17.072-04:00What a wonderful story.

I think as women we all struggle with the image we have of ourselves and it's hard to live in this world without thinking we're too fat/plain/unlikeable or some other thing. <br /><br />Healthy living is about balance and in today's world it's hard to find. We're told to eat nothing or everything. No one preaches moderation. <br />Thanks for sharing this story. You're not alone. We're in this together, as women fighting to be healthy in a world that wants us to be anything but. If you ever need encouragement or support, I'm always around. You can do this!Beckyhttp://ministrytomotherhood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-36646196062096661902011-06-07T13:57:04.363-04:002011-06-07T13:57:04.363-04:00Karen, I can hear your heart in your post!!

I'm struggling right now with many of things you wrote about (didn't have an eating disorder, though). Just started back on the exercise wagon June 1. I *am* counting calories at the moment just because I want to stay under 1200 per day. I'm hoping something will work. If I could just see some weight loss it would help. Just know you aren't alone! Good luck with whatever you find works for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
