Hi Everyone,
I just came across this site and it sounds like such an awesome place I am excited and motivated again!!
So heres my story..
I am 24 years old, I was pretty much chubby all my life, I got OVERWEIGHT my last 2 years of highschool... I was up to 180! I'm short so, it was even worse. Then my second semester in college, I don't know what happened, but something instantly clicked, I decided I WILL lose weight. I researched different diets online, and saw a low calorie diet of about 800-900 calories a day and that many people were successful with this, well seemed easy enough. I actually followed through and lost about 25lbs in one month, then all **** broke loose and it went from a decent 800 calories a day to 600...400...200...to 150... thats NOT OKAY... within 6 months, I developed a pretty bad eatting disorder, i got down to 113, I went from size 16 jeans, to size 0 jeans being baggy on me. It was ****, this lasted for 6 years... kept the weight off with some fluctuation here and there...
I was happy that i was skinny, but miserably because really, it didn't matter, I still thought i was fat. I started my path of recovering, slowly, its a struggle everyday, i went on some RX for depression and to help with my ED, it worked, but not so great, the medication along with the passing of my grandmother who was like my mother made me care less about how I looked and how much weight i was gaining, my ED was basically gone.
Now, i am back up to 180. I am on a MISSION, to lose weight THE HEALTHY WAY .... I don't want an eating disorder, but I do want to get healthy again. I have gained all the weight back.
My goal is to get to 125, which is well above normal for my height.
I am hoping this website helps with healthy tips and encouragement!
I look forward to meeting all of you beautiful people!!
