GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Near Seattle, WA. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: A combination of medications and Hypothyroidism. Does that count? It's really an uphill battle. I also get cravings for fast food sometimes and occasionally eat more than I should. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I'm dedicated to working out. I'd been pretty much sedimentary for 6 years but started doing Leslie Sansone "walk at home" DVDs in January. I'm fiercely determined to ditch the fatty arm look and I work out 6 days a week. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I've struggled with major depression/bipolar and anxiety since I was 13. I was always thin as a girl, but I ended up being a guinea pig for all sorts of anti-depressants, and gained 60+ lbs over the years. All I want is to get better and feel like "me" again. I'm currently at a plateau with my weight but trying my best to stay optimistic and on track. |

I'm attempting to not freak out and not get emotional. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?: I'm in a foreign country with all of my friends and family back home, which is why I joined this site. I'm having an enormous lack of support from my mother, which is a source of constant anxiety, as she just lost a lot of weight and is pushing me to do it as she did. Just the fact that she tells me I need any diet is rather rude in my opinion. This has been a very hard journey for me and it's not over yet. I'm trying to get my butt in gear and get my attitude in line! |
I want to be happy......
