DATE: 22nd August 2009 USERNAME/REAL NAME: SpinyNorma AGE:29 BIRTHDAY: 2nd March MARITAL STATUS: Single CHILDREN/AGES: - HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Movies, reading, nature, shopping! :D PETS: 1 dog TOP WEIGHT: 150lbs CURRENT WEIGHT: 147lbs GOAL WEIGHT: 125lbs HEIGHT: 5ft 5 EYE COLOR: Brown HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown OCCUPATION: Teacher GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Ireland WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: My binge-eating (& my tendency to restrict food-intake after binges which inevitably leads to more bingeing!) WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: As I have depression, I have just started to realise how my binge-eating is really adding to my burden. I want to get healthy and focus on managing my depression and improving my body image. I'm really focusing on forcing myself to continue with healthy eating immediately after bingeing (rather than trying to skip meals to compensate). It's pretty tough as I'm an all-or-nothing mentality type of girl! :dizzy: ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I have severe treatment-resistant clinical depression and have been on meds for the past 13yrs. I often channel any negative emotions into food as, when i'm really down, it's the only thing I know which makes me feel happy for a moment. Craziness aside, I'm an outgoing, talkative and open person. :angel: |

Hello!
First name: Kelly
Geographical location: Arizona (USA) Age: 31 Marital Status: Single, never married Children/Ages: None Occupation: Social Security Disability Pets: One kitten, Mia (6 months old) Hobbies/Interests: Writing, reading, drawing, television, movies, Flylady, Livejournal Height: 5’3” Eye/Hair Color: Green/brown Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: Jan 5, 2010 Starting Weight: 265 Present Weight: 265 Goal Weight: Ultimately 125-130, but my first goal is to get below 200 lbs. Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Depression, compulsive overeating, lack of self-control Following any specific plan: Not at the moment What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I have no idea…I just know it’s try again or give up completely and I don’t have it in me to give up completely. Anything else you would like to share with us: I started gaining weight back in 1996 after an especially traumatic year. Until then I was thin. I was 106 pounds and taking two, two hour karate classes a week. I was extremely active and could eat anything I wanted because my metabolism was so high, it just burned right off. Then after my boyfriend committed suicide and I lost several friends to a car accident and a plane crash, I sunk into a SEVERE depression and gained a large amount of weight in a very short time. Shortly before all this I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and put on meds but we didn’t get the chance to see if the meds worked because of having so many situational triggers. My depression was completely debilitating for many years. I continued to gain weight and spent many years attempting and failing to lose the weight, which only added to my self-hatred. I won’t go into detail here but I will just say that I have been in a very, very bad place for a long time, completely overwhelmed by self-hatred. I have absolutely no life, and if things continue with the way they are now, no hope for any kind of future. But I am not ready to give up yet. So here I am. Trying again. God, help me. LOL |
