Hi! Thanks for coming over to chat. It’s great that you experienced faster metabolism when you reached your 40′s. For most women, it slows down, right?

I’m grateful that I even reached this point that I can talk about it now, including the pain of being overweight. I hope my following blog posts would also give you some ideas as I go on my weight loss journey. Take care. Online casino Ireland. ###

HI sis, i can totally relate,,,kahit sabihin minsan na trophy natin ang ating mga excess pounds since it was brought by our kiddos, dumarating talaga ang time na nakakababa ng self esteem sa sarili. Ako i feel that pag may mga dresses aking gusto na isuot at dati naman ay nasusuoot ko at hindi na bagay ngayon..

Ang hirap din naman mag diet kasi nakakahina minsan at nakaka tempt lalo na if talagang sabay sabay kayong kumakain ng family. Syempre pag nakikita ng mga kids na mahina ka mag eat minsan pati sila mahina kumain.

DI din ako mahilig mag exercise kasi when I was still working byahe pa lang pata na, and know na WAHM ako and into real estate walking na lang during trippings which I assist

From 30 to 37 ko talagang prime ng aking wiughtloss struggle yun, pero now na nagtuntong ako sa 40 (btw I am turning 42 this July), napansin ko na bumilis ang aking metabolismo at hindi na ako ganung kalaki lumobo to think na wala tlaga akong diet, I just dont know if we can correlate it with age.

BTW, this is my first time here and I also belong to our FB WAHM group by Martine.

Michelle, I have also been struggling with weight gain for the last 16 years. I felt hopeless about it, and the nutritional information on the internet was disturbing because so much of it conflicted with other information. I finally heard about Trim Healthy Mama, and God has used that book to bring real healing to my family! We’ve all lost weight…have still got more to lose. But it’s fun to see progress! I have friends in my town that I told them about Trim Healthy Mama, and they have each lost over 70 lbs. in 6-12 months using THM. Wow! They’ve even lost a lot more weight than I have. Amazing! Unfortunately for me, I struggle with some candida problems which means that I now cannot eat any foods with carbs for maybe 6 months or more. That will be tougher, but I’m looking forward to seeing more results than I have in the last year.

I’m sorry to hear that in your culture there it’s so commonplace for people to make fun of those who are overweight. I suppose that happens some here, too, in the States, but I haven’t ever been ridiculed, nor has any friend or family member ever pointed out that I was fat. That would have really hurt my feelings.

It can be more expensive to eat mostly meats and veggies, but it sure cuts down on the health expenses in the long run. You can do this!

Thank you for your comment, Christine. Truth to tell, it took me a lot of years to look at how I got to this size. It’s pretty hard because you’ll have to also feel the pain that comes with it. It is helpful for me I also want to know what the root of all this is. I still don’t know for sure, but writing about it helps. God bless you in your quest for a whole new lifestyle.

Hi Michelle,
I like your blog. You are so courageous. I am having a hard time admitting how I got to my current size right now, but mine all happened in just 3 years.
I do not hope to get back my pre-pregnancy body. But I do want to have a healthier body and a healthier lifestyle.
I wanted to write my own blog about my weight story, but I do not have the same courage as yours.
But I want to share that this year, I promised myself that if I’m not going to lose all the weight that I’ve gained for 3 years, I will just live a healthy body and a healthy lifestyle.
So right now, I’m living a whole new lifestyle with slow but regular exercise (as frequent as I can), and healthy eating.

May, I read your story, too, about your eating disorder. Yep, with a lot of encouragement and help, change of eating habits, I know we can do it. I’m reading Trim, Healthy Mama and their plan seems like one I’d like to do. It’s made especially for moms who want to eat the same foods as their families are eating and want to be healthy. This is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/trimhealthymamas/ and their site: http://www.trimhealthymama.com/. God bless you May!
