Starting over & looking for an accountability partner.
 

Hi - I am new here and starting yet another weight loss journey. I have been reading through this group and relate so much to many of you.

Loss - regain more. Loss - regain more. Rinse and repeat.

I am feeling so trapped in my body and so unhealthy. Exercise is so incredibly painful due to how large my boobs are and how they pull on my back.

I am mortified to go to the gym, but I love swimming, and it's good for my back, but I haven't been able to force myself to go to the gym. The last time I went swimming, a woman called me a disgusting, fat b*tch when I went to share her lane. I know I shouldn't let people control my behavior, but it really hurt my feelings and I feel so self-conscious.

I would love to find an accountability partner. I know how to eat to lose weight. I actually really enjoy healthy food - I just need to reign in the portions and not give in to junk food temptation. I had one HUGE binge that lasted 3 days this weekend and I feel so out of control and unable to live the life that I so desperately want.

I'm afraid I'm going to die if I don't get myself on the right track.

Hello! I'm Ruby :)

First I am so sorry that happened to you. I'm not sure what I would do if someone said that to me so I can understand your leeriness of trying to go again. Is there another gym you can go to? I know its hard to find one with a pool.

I would love to be one of your partners if you will have me! I'm doing calorie counting and intermediate fasting. What kind of plan are you on?

Hi Ruby,

Thanks for responding! I am locked into that gym with a membership, and they have a pool and hot tub, so I need to suck it up and go back. Claim my space.

Right now I'm just doing calorie counting and attempting to incorporate some exercise into my day. I am in a lot of pain due to my weight and it's really hard to get started.. I'd love to be accountability partners... I will private message you if that's ok?

I am in the same boat. Daily activities are painful to complete and so I give up and go to bed. Which means I am often behind on household things I need to get done.
