Hi b2. I have read you in other threads and figured I might as well jump into THIS fray.

Umm, how do I start. I need to lose 50 pounds and quick. No one told me I have to just something happened a few weeks ago that Really hit a nerve.

I was walking outside my house and 2 men were talking loud. One said to the other "Oh, that Big Blonde over there?" And the both looked straight at me. Made me feel terrible. I don't want people referring to me as a Big Blonde. I hate that. So from that night on I decided to quit eating like a pig and DO something about it. I have lost 12 pounds in about 5 weeks JUST by not eating at night. I do my regular swimming 3 to 4 times a week and that's the only true exercise I get other than housework.

I hope I can stay true to my conviction and keep it up. It's amazing what determination can do when your disgusted enough with the way you look. I'm kind of amazed that my feelings being hurt would serve as motivation. I'm really NOT a vain person.

Now I will get my Jollies posting pictures of Pastries.
