new biggest loser has been on the past 2 wks anyone else following???

here is a day in my life and a little about me.
I started today. Im tired of failing well today I stopped myself this past wkend we all engorged ourselves at the fair and i felt so sick to my stomache that I said enough is enough. I donated our canned vegs that do not say no salt added. DH says Im nuts but someone else can enjoy them that truly needs. it may have taken half our canned veg stock but I still have over 50 cans of vegs that say no salt and that is a start. I went through half my stock and read the labels. and I thought to myself am I really going to feed this to my kids so much sugars, and added items our family dont need. salt and sugar are both huge factors in childhood obesity and hypertension problems in the world as well. The church is going to love me. LOL but I vowed today to start anew life of happiness. I have to love and take care of me and my family. and it all started with a stock change now eating changes, and exercise. I have always struggled with my weight issues since I was in HS. always called names and always had my head in the dirt like an ostrich hiding or trying to hide my pain. i have tried slimfast, but there is so much added sugars it just didnt hel just made me crave chocolate..LOL Ive tried phentrimine doctor monitored did rather well. Dr took me off and I gain 20 ot of 160 back. not too bad but I am still proud that I kept over 100 lbs off in the last 3 yrs. I skipped meals so that I didnt eat calories. in HS i used to think puking up after I ate would help, stopped that after I say a movie about a bulimic. Now my life is changed my kids need me as a mom to be around to love and care of them. and to live. not only for them but for me. im not counting calories, im counting the days im living.
