pretty disappointed in myself...

[Meredith]

So as a lot of you know I plan on starting a diet tomorrow....well I'm in major need. I put on my dress pants this morning to get ready for this meeting and not one pair fits, so I have to wait a skirt with an elastic waist band...which btw made ripping sounds as I pulled it over my hips :( I'm so upset. I don't know when I let myself get this bad. And It's frustrating becuase my arms and waist are still really skinny but my hips/thighs/and butt are HUGE. I'm looking really un proportional.

Anyway I just needed to whine that I'm fat lol. I can't believe I've put on 25lbs in 3 months. What was I thinking?? My jeans don't fit, my dress pants don't fit...I barely had anything to wear to work anyway no I literally have next to nothing...

I don't know it's just really upsetting me this morning. I just kinda want to cry :tissue:

aww mere im sorry- its completely normal that stress can make you gain weight though.
you will start feeling way better when you start your diet tomorrow! i started dieting and going to the gym about a month ago and even though it takes some major motivation, it will make you feel so much better!!
we're here for you mere :) we'll keep you motivated!!

[Meredith]

thanks lindsay! I really appreciate it :) I'm feeling better sine I went to my interview but blegh...I don't know how I got so heavy. I also have my period...which is the reason for the crying lol.....and I'm probably a little bloated sooo yeah haha. I'm going to go buy ONE pair of fat dress pants and thats all. I want to get back into good enough shape that my dress pants fit me again!

i'm sorry girl. lindsay is right, once you start tomorrow, you will start to feel better. i am doing weight watchers, and it is amazing what a change in your diet can do for you :) we are all here for you!

Don't worry Mere - you're beautiful! And believe me I know what you mean about gaining weight in your hips and thighs and butt - me too! And I always have a "reason" for not working out or eating healthy.. lol the excuse the past few months has been "I"m under stress and I need to make myself feel better with food" -- oy.

Don't worry though!! I hear it gets easier after the first week.
