There is Nothing Worse Than a Mad Fat Woman

I was raised to stuff my feelings which I do very well. Along the way while I was stuffing my feelings I have also stuffed myself. I am beginning the journey to become a happier, healthier, firmer and thinner version of my former self. What follows are the ramblings from the journey.

And So It Begins

Who is the FAT WOMAN in this picture? How did I get to this place? Metabolism, genetics? After spending the weekend watching endless TV, eating because the food is there and trying to find clothes that will fit my ever expanding fat behind, I've decided enough is enough! It is time to get moving; not to the refrigerator, but a move to become healthier and to take the steps to like myself again.


I have always been a people pleaser. Wanting to do whatever it took to make people like me; even if it meant that I didn't like me or the person I would be. I never thought I was good enough or deserving of happiness. It all comes down to believing you are worthy. Finally, at almost 55 years old I have come to the realization I am worthy.

I have a beautiful daughter and two perfect granddaughters. They are the joy of my life. I want to be here for them. I want to be here for my daughter; I want to be the fun Nana for my granddaughters. I want to be here for my friends, family and most importantly I want to live. Come along with me on this journey; perhaps we can cry, laugh and encourage each other along the way.

    Teresa, you've taken a huge and important step in finding the real you! I had a very similar realization a couple years ago and while I was somewhat successful in losing and keeping off about 40lbs I still fight an inward battle with food every day! I am not and wonder if I will ever be to the point that food isn't the focus for me. I applaud you, support and encourage you! I did read a great book and if you're interested will get the info to ya. Way to go! Jamie Mc.

    I'm starting tomorrow myself! Looking to loose 45lbs. I hope to loose 25lbs by Thanksgiving. Then just hold my own through the Holidays. If I can avoid the steroids for a few months I think I can do it. I believe you can too, because I believe in you dear friend. Good luck to both of us! Rick
