Well, this is the first time I have participated in a weight loss forum. I think I need the encouragement and honesty that only others who have walked a mile in your shoes can provide.
I am 28. I work full time for a Human Services agency. I have also been married for 6 years and we have a wonderful soon to be three year old son.
I am somewhat lost at this point in my life. I have been a chunky monkey for as long as I can remember. I slimmed down during high school, but it didn't take long for the weight to pile back on.
My issue is that my food issues are so emotional for me. I am so uncomfortable in my thin body. I have huge issues with people admiring my body. Last year I had a bout with depression and lost about 50 pounds. A friend of my husbands asked me if I was going to continue to lose weight and look sexy. This sent me into a complete tail spin. I am back to my previous weight.
It has been a few months and I now realize I need to work through these emotional issues in order to empower myself to be who I want to be. I want to be healthy and live a long and fulfilling life. I want to be a role model for my son. I'll be damned, I want to feel sexy to.
So, if you have made it this far, this is where I am at. I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Hello all!
