About Me
I am a happily married Christian mother of 2. I have a 12 year old son that I homeschool, and a 19 month old daughter. When I married my husband 6 years ago, I weighed 117 lbs. Now, 6 years later, I weigh in at 251 lbs. I am desperate to do something about all of this weight so that I can enjoy my life with my family.

I’m With You
Your journal today was so moving! Im so proud of you for letting God work in your life and getting up this morning! I think sometimes the guilt and old habits are what keep us there! I have been struggling with this too! I feel so guilty to if I dont get up with my husband in the mornings. Ive told him now to wake me up no matter what(he doesnt use an alarm so i dont hear him get up)! Alot of times we just stay in bed together for a while, its kind of become our bonding time lately. He doesnt eat breakfast but just getting up with them for that hour shows them you care and makes you feel so good about yourself and anything you do to build a bond makes your relationship stronger. Thats always a good thing! Does your husband stay up late too? Have you thought about taking Tylenol PM or something to get you to sleep earlier? Ill keep you in my prayers, I know God will give you the strenght to do this! Let me know how tomorrow goes! xxxxx

Close Food Addiction
When I married my husband 6 years ago I was 117 lbs. Now, 6 years later, I am up to 251 lbs. My husband Is tall and very skinny, so are my kids. So whenever we go somewhere I feel like people look at me like I stave my family and eat all the food. My husband says that he doesn't care about all the weight, he just wants me to be happy. I hate myself. I hate being like this. It's just that I feel like food rules my life. I feel trapped by food. I will go out of my way to get something that I am craving. I spend money that we really don't have on stupid stuff like fast food and milk shakes. I just feel like I can't help it when a craving hits. It's like it just takes over me. I really hope that this site will help. I have tried just about everything, and nothing else has helped.
Treatments
- Writing Working / Worked
- I have been going over my whole life starting from as far back as I can remember and just writing things. Things I remember from the very beginning, bad things, good things, things that upset me, things that made me happy. I have also written letters that I will NEVER send to all of the people that have hurt me and that has helped me so see how much I have carried around inside of me for all of these years. If you are very honest in your writing, it will help you to discover the true you.
Close Obesity
Hi my name is Mandy. I have been happily married for 6 1/2 years. I have a 12 year old son and a 21 month old daughter. I was a normal weight all of my life until I had my son at age 18. I struggles for about 4 years until I finally starved myself and lost about 80 lbs. When I met my husband I was 5 ft.3 and weighted 117 lbs. He is very slim and can eat like a horse. After being with him for over 6 years, I am now up to 240 lbs. So I have gained about 120 pounds in the last 6 years.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Not Working
- When I cut certain things out of my diet, it causes me to binge eat.
- Breast Feeding Not Working
- I just weaned my daughter at 21 months of age and I have not lost a single pounds during the whole time of breastfeeding. And believe me, she nursed ALL of the time. I am actually surprised that I didn't lose.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I am starting Curves Monday, so I will get back to you on this one.
- Slim-Fast Not Working
- It might have worked, but I struggle with binge eating, and the shakes and meal taste so good that I end up drinking the whole pack in one day. I totally go nuts and binge on them.
- Swimming Not Working
- I love swimming but I don't do it in public. I joined a winter swimming program over this past winter and LOVED it, but I didn't lose any weight or anything, but that's probably because I still ate like a pig.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I think that journaling is one of the things that has made a major improvement in my life.
