Hey everyone!!
This is my first day as an FC!! YAY
I finally decided to join after having tried without success on my own.
I'm not overweight, but I am very uncomfortable in my own skin. I want to be able to walk down the street ( or *gasp* in a bathing suit) with confidence. I feel like my weight takes a toll on every aspect of my life and if I can just get it under control I could finally reach full potential.
So I enjoy working out, I hit the gym doing both cardio and weights quite frequently..but my eating is where I get in trouble. I have trouble with binging. I've been pretty good lately, but if something triggers me....watch out. It's very frustrating to be in college and have friends who can go out, eat pizza, drink beer and look great while if I did that i'd feel guilty and uncomfortable the entire time. I definitely hold back on being who i really am because of my weight and I don't think that's acceptable.
I need to change!! I need to get this under control now so that I can lead a healthy life for the rest of my life.
I've only got about 5-10lbs of actual fat to loose but it seems like the scale just never budges!! Is there anything you girls and guys can recommend to get me kick started in the right direction? I have huge issues with temptation but it's impossible to avoid the grocery store and potlucks forever. Have you guys got any tips or advice for beating the urges to nosh??
thanks for all the support, i'm really excited to finally conquer this
