Hi everyone. Im 32 and have just gone thru a major life event that made me step back and look at myself. I have split up with my boyfriend of 7 years, having to move out of the house and realize, Im all alone for the first time. Trying to find me has been increasingly difficult, as I feel Ive lost my identity, living my life for him and his happiness, all these years.
I know one thing for sure, Im not happy with myself now that I can take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. I am overweight, tired all the time, serious joint and muscle issues, poly cystic ovary syndrome, pre diabetic, chronic headaches, back pain, Im sure you can all relate. I also sweat at the drop of a hat like walking across the house just to change laundry, which is so embarassing.
Ive decided to take back my life, and learn who I am. Ive found this to be increasingly difficult, as I grieve for the loss of the man I was going to be with forever, and learn how to live alone.
But, I know Im not truly alone, it looks as if Ive found a wonderful group of people here to support one another. I have around 100 pounds to lose, Im 5 feet tall and any minor movement sends me out of breathe, looking for a chair.
I plan to start with Walk away the pounds and Isometrics, I work at a computer all day so I know I can do that whenever Im seated. Years ago, I used WATP to lose 30 pounds, so I know it works and will be a great tool to get to where I can increase my exercise, who knows, maybe there is a marathon runner locked inside??
