stumbled upon this site and loving it.
Hello all. I'm Tinz and I'm here for support. A bit of a back story...I have always been a chunky kid. I never really started struggling with my weight until i was in 8th grade and i stopped cheerleading/being active. I then started hiding behind baggy clothes and not doing anything. In one sitting I could eat two burrito supreme, a mexican pizza, two or three taco supreme and a large drink from taco bell in one sitting. My mom wouldnt stop me either. She'd let me eat whatever i wanted when i wanted basically. by 9th grade i was a size 18 and pretty much stayed that way until i graduated high school. I lived at the beach for about 3 months and lost a bunch of weight because i was walking everywhere. i walked to and from work, 5 miles each way. i rarely ate because i was poor and working for pennies it seemed. i believe i got down to a size 10 or 12 and i looked sick as ****. i didnt do it the healthy way. when i moved back home of course my mom made sure i ate to get my healty weight back. but i didnt control that either. so of course i shot right back up to a size 18 and now being 29 years old, a size 22 isn't really comforting. My fiance and i are on a plan to lose weight. not to look good (although that is a plus) but to be healthier. Our wedding is in Oct. and i plan to have lost at least 30 lbs by then. We plan on having children and i do not want to risk having any complications do to me being over weight. I am at the extreme high risk of diabetes..i have a loaded gun pointed at me with that. My dad, both his parents, my sister, etc. the list goes on. If i do not lost this weight my doctor has told me there is a guarantee i will have it by next year. I refuse to let that become apart of my life. So now im ready to take this long and grueling journey of weight loss. and from what i've seen here you guys really do support one another.
sorry for the long intro. you will see me here a lot.
