saying goodbye to an old friend

Ice cream is one of my big downfalls. I love ice cream. I can eat tons of it. I love almost any kind. But we all know that eating ice cream in large amounts several times a week can wreck havoc on our weight. So at least for now I am having to say good-bye to my old dear friend, ice cream. I guess I can have skinny cows once in awhile, but no real ice cream. I am bound and determined to get into better shape, loose some weight and feel better about my body. I only started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and have already lost 8 lbs YEAH.
For anyone else out there that would like to loose some weight I would love to encourage and motivate each other.........

weighty matters...............

I have really let myself go because of my health issues. I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and hypothyroidism. Because of the medications I am on for fibro and cfs I gained alot of weight, also due to being in pain daily and having extreme exhaustion I quit exercising, which caused me to gain more weight. I also started treating myself to ice cream and comfort foods because I didnt feel good most of the time. All of this has added up to alot of weight gain. I have decided to do something about it.
I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life. I had lost 105 lbs about 13 yrs ago and kept it off for 4 yrs. When I got sick I gained it all back plus more. So I know all the info and how to do it. It is just a matter of doing it. Putting my mind to it. And I know it is going to be alot of hard work.
I would love for people to join me in my weight loss efforts. It is so much easier to do when you have support. I will be posting tips, recipes, and my weight loss efforts.........HELP me to stay accountable.....PLEASE
