(the first time I watched that, my first though was, "My hair will NEVER look that good!")
ok, I KNOW that was really hard for you to do. Not everyone could bare it all like that...
Good Job. I hope you get a reprieve from all of the "issues" you've been dealing with lately. It's great to have you back!
and Andie looks adorable.
Oh Molly! You're like the cutest thing ever! I'm so sorry for everyting that's been happening with you, but I'm so excited to read your posts.
Molly - you're my effin' hero!
Thanks for sharing that with us :)
I've never met Molly, but I instantly like her from that video! A) because she's candid and honest, B) because she's starting from square one which is where I ALWAYS am, so maybe I'll get on board this time, and C) cause she and Katie talk exactly alike, and Katie is one of the funniest people I know.
Thanks for the motivation!
Hi Molly, I'm so sorry about all the stress you've had lately. I'm sure your emotions have been all over the place. I hope things are on the upswing for you and you'll be getting back to a more normal routine. Katie is awesome but we have missed yours posts. It's great to have you back.
p.s. Andie is so cute!
Thanks for sharing and good luck on your journey again. Know you have lots of support :)
Molly,
Wow, what an emotional strain all of that had to be! Thanks for sharing something so personal and hard. I am looking forward to your posts and wish you all the luck in the world.
Wow Molly, thanks so much for sharing that.
It's great to have you back. And I think the fact that you're starting over again is so inspirational! So many people run into roadblocks and just give up.
Best of luck in your efforts and looking forward to hearing how you're doing.
(And thanks, Katie, for persuading Molly to tell her story!)
I'm at work and can't watch the video! Can anyone fill me in?
Molly,
Wow. WOW!!! I was just about to scream and call you, and then at that point in the video you said you had a miscarriage. Ow. Even though I know the doctor said no more babies. What an emotional roller coaster you've been on!
I'm sorry. On the other hand, I will be glad to read your posts again. You bring such an open, candid perspective. But what a tough three months you went through.
Good luck. I'm cheering for you!
Well we're glad you are back Molly. And I too am very sorry for the things you have been going through. I can't wait to read your posts!
Thanks for sharing with us!!
Hi Molly!
Thanks for sharing. I don't know if Katieo told you but I was wondering what had happened to you!
I am very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Eventhough it sounds like it may have been "for the best" (and I hate even writing that!) I know that the loss of a pregnancy is never easy.
I also know, having gained 22lbs by the end of my 1st trimester with Baby (YIKES!!... it is true... and No I wasn't eating like a pig) that even 3 months of pregnancy can change your body so I appreciate where you are coming from.
And is it just me or are you gorgeous?! :)
Molly, you are so brave and beautiful. Your story made me cry. Thanks for your baring your soul to us.
Yep, Mrs. F, Molly is totally gorgeous.
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us, Molly. What an emotional roller coaster you've been on! I'm so impressed with how composed and open you are about what you have been through. That kind of maturity is really inspiring.
Don't worry about the weight; it'll come off. (And how lucky are you to have Katie for a sister?! I'm so jealous!)
Molly,
Even though I have been in touch with you during all of this, seeing it on video reminds me that you are an inspiration to me! You are strong, funny, genuine, spiritual, kind, thoughtful and honest! I want to be like you when I grow up - LOL!
Seriously though, I know what is like to start all over and if anyone can do it...YOU CAN!
Please know that I am just a phone call away and will do anything I can to help you.
Lisa
Molly, thank you for your honesty. My heart goes out to you. You are so strong!
I am starting over as well. My backslide began 3 months ago, when I was taken to the hospital with chest pains. Never did I think a panic attack would do me in like it did.
We'll do this-together!!!
Agreed -- Molly, you're totally gorgeous and you've got great hair! It sounds like the last three months have been a doozy -- I'm glad you're back. You seemed (at least from the video) a wee overwhelmed; my best advice is my only advice that works for me (sometimes) take things one step at a time. One workout, one meal at a time. You'll get there.
you can do it molly!! you are so cute :) welcome back to the diet war :)
andie is tooooo cute!!!!
To all of you that posted today -
I will try to comment to you individually on your sites later but I just want to say thank you for all of the support. I am truly overwelmed and recharged! (I haven't even looked at the final copy of me on video. I'm mortified that Kate made me do it - if I think about it, I just get embarressed thinking about my mouth just going...)
To those that commented on feeling bad for my situation - thank you for your kindness and support but believe me, I do realize that ALL of us has our hangups or challenges that might slow us down. I just chose to put losing weight low on my priority list. I just couldn't do it all. Am I paying for it now? Yes, but it was my choice.
I can empathize with tastefullyjunes comment about having to go to the hospital with chest pain and realizing it was a panic attack. That happened to me 2 weeks ago. Since there was pain in my chest area, now I'm super paranoid about another blood clot. Nope, just anxiety!
Kat made the point that basically my "failure" was going to help people out. As I have read your comments I can honestly say that if this helps any of you see me struggle AND have to start over AND be human AND hate trying to lose weight AND giving up for awhile AND just being disgusted with myself - GOOD! We all can do it together (well, except for the other 1/2 of sisterskinny - she is skinny!)
Mrs. Furious mentioned this has happened to her (the miscarriage aspect). Losing a baby is hard enough and then having to lose weight for no baby is just a cruel joke.
And in closing - Kate and I might sound alike, but I have to laugh - our personalities are black/white. Kate is great - she is my little inspiration! (What a word choice "little" - not only by age but now by size!
Thanks again!
Molly your video was amazing! It is hard to start all over but try to look at it like a clean slate. Kinda like the first day of school. Today I started a new blog because I was so inspired by you and your sister! http://masflaca.blogspot.com
I am proud of BOTH of you! You are both meeting challenges head on. My hat is off to you both. Thanks for this blog. It helps me so much.
YOU WERE PREGNANT????
I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm.. I'm..I'm your OTHER sister. Love you always, no matter the size of your waist or checkbook.
Just for the record Mol...I think I used the word "incident," not "failure."
Molly,
I was so sad to hear about your situation. But, I'm glad that you are excited about getting started again. Best of luck, but you look great now!
Molly, I am so sorry for everything going on. What a roller coaster.
Your little baby is so cute! As are you and your sister, too!
I look forward to reading your posts! Go easy on yourself, you have been through so much!
I'm somewhat new to the sisterskinny three-ring-circus and hadn't yet had the pleasure of "meeting" Molly -- what an introduction! I'm so sorry for all of the stress and trauma you've been through recently.
I was so moved by your story and inspired by your motivation and spirit. Hang in there! I'm stickin' around to watch you 'catch up' with Katie!
Molly--you are beautiful. I like you already. I love that you are REAL and open with what's been going on. You are a strong woman. (Any woman who moves forward after having a miscarriage is inherently strong!)
Oh that is so sad/cute/inspiring.... you are lovely! Good luck with the 'starting over'.... I have been there a million times over! I finally won the battle a couple of years ago, but have gained some again.. so I too feel like I have to start over too....roll on next year, it will be 'our' year again eh?
Oh and "Hi" to Katie too !
Welcome back Molly. Thanks for sharing your story. You're not alone in this journey.
i wish i could just come over and talk to you. our stories are WAY too similar, and i am where you are right now, but really lacking the motivation. thanks for sharing your heart, i really needed this today....
Karen-
I'm glad that you read today. That's the thing, it is so hard to start over. I just got back from the gym and am so discouraged. I'm starting over yes-but having this blog really helps me. If you have gone through similar things as me-I'm there for you! Send me an email if you ever want to.
Hope this helps you - don't give up. (That sounds funny to me coming from me!)
Okay, so I finally got to watch the video. Molly, as someone who came to the site after you were already on your hiatus, it's lovely to meet you! Thank you so much for sharing this, and for coming back. I'm so sorry that the last few months were so trying, but I'm glad that you're healthy and well, and back! Looking forward to getting to know you around this little corner of the interweb.
wow, that story is really sad, i almost cried :(
but, i do know how you feel. in fact, i just started ALL OVER on the 25th, and this was my 4TH TIME!! and each time i'm bigger than the last, except for this time, strangely enough, when i managed to gain back only as much as i had lost. but yes, i feel you. and i wish you luck, and i look forward to reading your contributions to the blog!
