I had so much fluid in me from being pregnant (not to mention my 9lb son) that I got on the scale a week post partum and had lost almost 25 pounds already! I gained a lot with this pregnancy and will have to work to take off another 20 or so, but what a great start!

Hello. I need to confess something, I have been on a really really strict diet. But yesterday. i did something really horrible !!!!!! I can't even believe that i did it.. I .. i.. i ate a carrot.. ;((;((;(;(;( FORGIVE ME GOD

I have abs for the first time ever, stomach is in nice and soft shape, great arms - but bathing suits were not made for AA breasts and I'm pretty sure my weight loss has been in the boobs as well. Sigh.

Today I ate mcdonalds, an ice cream sandwich and then 4 reeses cups and very little water. I then decided I'd go for a run including sprints after not exercising for 4 days. Worst heartburn ever. I thought I was going to die on my run. I didn't even make it 1 mile.

I could honestly do without food most of the time. I eat only because I have to, unless I am in a fun, social situation - then I eat and enjoy it. I'd rather drink.

I had an interesting experience trying on clothes the other day. My sister and I were in the same booth. We're the same height but I'm 15 lbs heavier and correspondingly higher body fat whereas she's at her/our ideal weight. I've had the extra 15 lbs for a long time now and always felt bad about it and miss my slimmer self. So we each try on the exact same dress in our sizes (her: 2, me: 6) and surprisingly, it looked better on me than on her. It never occurred to me that such a thing could happen. I'd still like to lose the weight but it's nice to know I can still look good at this weight.

Sometimes, I "milk" my nose. I squeeze the corners of it until yellow crud comes out. Yes,I am aware that it's disgusting

Saw pics from my 10k. I do not look as fit as I think I do. :(

When I run, my nipples sweat, apparently, and I end up with sweat circles just there. So embarrassing!

I can't stop eating, have 20 lbs to lose. Can't afford counseling/or commercial weight loss programs. Have a gym membership but I'm not going. I feel hopeless.
