I'm usually a lurker and don't post, but seeing as this is going to be a long journey and I have found I actually really like these forums, here I go! Cue longwinded backstory...
I have heaps to lose, and have only recenly started. I'm down 77 pounds which to someone else might seem like a lot, but it doesn't to me. I don't have the complex food issues a lot of large people seem to, so it is quite easy for me to eat less. I'm just counting calories - I actually love good food so eating well isn't hard either. I feel kinda embarrassed when people congratulate me on my weight loss as it's just not that hard...really brings home the fact that I should have done it a long time ago lol. How did I get this size? I love food, and don't care about my appearance. (I'm Asexual, so being fat is actually handy. Although I still get hit on a lot, which confuses and annoys me) Being fat just hasn't bothered me all that much and I must be lucky because it has never been an issue in my life. But I'm 26 now and for my health I think I better get it off. I know it will be harder the older I get so sooner is better then later. Plus my size was getting silly, like chairs were getting uncomfortable and buying clothes was becoming hard.
I look forward to getting to know some of you and hopefully we can share and help each other.
(Oh and I've actually been a vegetarian for 10 years, Lambchops is just a silly nickname lol)
Heya :D
