hi
i hope you don't mind if i move into your thread. so much more action up here from down in the 20 somethings area!
i'll introduce myself.....i'm 26, live in new york and am currently trying to get back into shape.
my long term goal is to lose 1-2 sizes by april.
that seems pretty reasonable to me....i think.
its been so long since i have really made a conscious effort towards losing weight and getting fit.
my last time was in college and i fretted so much over the number on the scale that i missed all other indications that i was fit and healthy.....the way i looked, the way clothes fit....how strong and fit i felt.
no it was all wasted really....
for some reason i stopped getting my periods my last semester of school, (something i chalk up to stress after seeing so many doctors who could find nothing wrong with me) and the nurse practioner sort of urged me to calm down with diet and exercise saying the weight i was at was perfectly healthy.... even though what i was doing was by no means extreme or anything.
i don't know. just hearing someone say that my weight was healthy wasn't enough...i wanted to hear something like, you have a great body or something like that. in my whole life i've wanted to hear that, without having to prompt my boyfriend.....
Me: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i'm so fat don't look at me
Him: no you're sexy, you know i love your body.....
Me: whatever get out *boot*
just i don't know, i really always wanted to hear that someone liked me for my body, maybe thats kind of wrong i don't know, but still!!!!!!!....i've never been at any extreme....i've been chubby...my highest weight was 180ish....175ish, something, i'm 5'8......in college when i graduated i weighed about 135.
so anyway i'll skip the rest of my weight neuroses and life histroy lol and just say that this time i'm hanging on until i have a hot fit body. yikes i almost feel like i will jinx it saying that...but regardless, i can dream right?
my goal for the day is water, 1400'ish calories and exercise.
i'm so tired today i could lay down under my desk and sleep probably but i must get to the gym
whew loooooooong sorry.
*wave wave*
