I have a bad habit of eating my emotions. If I'm stressed, I eat. If I am bored, I eat. If I am depressed, I eat. When these situations arise I find it ridiculously hard to control myself. If I try to deprive myself, it makes me want it more. Then, because I am weak, I give in. I am still looking for ways to reign myself in. The most successful method I have found so far is to keep myself SUPER DUPER busy!
I lost 50lbs after I graduated high school, and I looked and felt awesome! It took me 9 years to gain my weight back, but I have gained it all back, plus a few extra pounds. My lowest weight I remember being, as an adult, was 144lbs. I looked sexy, if I do say so myself! I miss it sooo much!

I am currently at 197lbs. Gross, I know. My goal weight is 135. I will be happy in the 140s, but 135 is my ultimate.
My plan so far is to use MyFitnessPal as a tool. I have a membership at a really good gym that I am also going to take advantage of. My favorite cardio exercise, so far, has been on an elliptical because I don't feel like I am dying while doing it... aka. it doesn't affect my asthma. I also enjoy weight training.. with machines... not free weights. I'm clumsy.
Just for the record and a comparasion I am going to post a current "before" picture. Sorry if it grosses you out; it does me too.
