Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome t. I wish you well. There is no need to be ashamed of failure. Think of each attempt as a learning experience. You will gain lots of good things from belonging to the group - and not all related to weight loss. Don't forget that wonderful things will happen in their own good time.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome, t! You say " I'm seriously considering going back to my Slimming World groups as it was the only thing that really 'worked'. Trouble is, I'm scared and ashamed of failing again. " For me, this was the key. The switch. The magic bullet. The knowledge that failing a little--for a meal, an afternoon, a day, even a week--does not mean I am a failure. It doesn't mean I've failed the system--or myself. It means I need to find a way to self correct. Maybe it means I haven't been sleeping enough--and instead of forcing myself to exercise, I should go to bed early. Maybe it means I haven't been getting enough exercise, and instead of sitting down on the couch after work, I should go for a walk..... It pretty much always means I haven't been setting aside a few minutes a day to check in with myself and find out what I really need. So what I used to see as failure is now a sign that I need to check in. To self correct so I can get back to center, and then to renew my energy so I can stay there. Which is a pretty long-winded way to get to my point--welcome to the group! -) >________________________________ > >To: insideoutweightloss >Sent: Friday, August 19, 2011 8:55 AM >Subject: Hello > > >Â >Hello all,I've been a member of this group for a little while now, but >haven't actually participated as yet.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I would like to introduce myself. My name is and I am a food addict. I just started listening to insideoutweightloss..I have one word OMG.. This is so awesome..she is so awesome. Thanks for letting me join the group. I have been on a weight-loss journey since April 2009. I started out at 325 and currently at 256.2 however I did get to 211.4 but I had some stressful things going on in my life and resorted back to comfort of food and gained back a lot of my weight. I am currently doing HCG protocol. I am on day 10 and down 14.4..I do not have much support and could really use it..Thanks everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yea you! Welcome. so glad you are here to share your journey with us. Sent from my Samsung Epic™ 4G Touch --- Hello To: insideoutweightloss CC: Just finished my first week of Full-filled. Wanted to say hello. I have struggled with weight since age 1. I say this because I was a very chubby baby. Everyone seemed to think it was cute but I can remember at a very young age crying after being teased about my " rolls " on my thighs and back. I was just an infant and to be honest now I can look at them and think cute, but at age five I felt horrible. Just yesterday I was sorting out old photographs when I was at a lower weight. I realized that no matter how I looked I always felt fat. I am ready to stop beating myself up and hiding behind my weight. I am ready to feel good about being me.
