To Young to be Fat!
Hello!
My name is Katherine. I am 24 years old and have struggled with my weight since junior high. I am currently around 220 lbs, which is just about 10 lbs less than my all time high of 230.
I am married to a wonderful man who has never struggled to maintain a healthy weight and just doesn't understand the challenge. He loves to bikeand hike and I want to be in better shape to do those things with him.
Though I am from the States, I am currently living in India, where I work in the non-profit, education sector, which I love. I am also finishing up a MA in international education.
I eat a (mostly) healthy vegetarian diet--I very rarely have any processed food. I actually don't know why I have not lost more weight since moving to India because I eat way healthier here (90% veggies, pulses, rice, whole wheat and fruit) than I ever did in college. But, I think I would be really happy around 140 lbs (no scientific way of arriving at that number... I am open to suggestions!), which would be my lowest weight since like 8th grade!
I know that I need more accountability to make this happen. I want to drop this weight for my husband, our future kids (2-3 years down the line), our adventurous, ever-traveling lifestyle, and for myself.
If any of you have suggestions about a plan, I would love to hear it!
Katherine
