Okay. So I haven't posted here in quite some time - the last time being February of 2003.
My name is Sara, I'm currently 21 (will be 22 in less than 3 weeks!), and I weight 316.5 lbs. I am 5'10". I am sick of being fat! Although I've been told that I "carry it well" and that people "never would have guessed [I] was over 300 lbs!", I don't care. I have a plethora of health problems that are seemingly unexplained by anything but being overweight. Liver enzyme problems, polycystic ovary syndrome, underactive thyroid, as well as a bunch of mental problems.. of course.
The last time I posted, I was 293 lbs, down from 310. I was feeling wonderful and more live than I had ever felt.. and then boom! I quit college, I got into a huge depression, and I refused to even think about weight loss. I ended up homeless, and with nowhere to turn. Well, I haven't been homeless for close to a year (thank heavens), and I am committed to losing weight again. In January, I started working out, and have lost a total of 22.5 lbs.. This, of course, leaves me at 6.5 lbs above my LAST starting weight, meaning that I gained 40 lbs back.
GUH.
I'm sick of feeling like this, and I'm sick of making excused for myself. Excuses such as "I don't have a gym membership" or "I want some ice cream though..". Bull shiiit. The lot of it!
This time, I am going to just eat better.. not worry about counting calories as much as getting the proper amount of water, and keeping a ton of exercise.
