Hi all!
In the hustle and bustle of the big city, I neglected to see how much my speedy lifestyle is really killing me. I'm an artistic person with a background in theatre and I love performing and all of the arts. I currently work at a company that sells Tension Fabric Structures and costumes - basically all kinds of wonderful funky things made with spandex, aluminum, and PVC! I love going out and partying, dancing, seeing shows, you name it! There is always fun and trouble to be had in NYC.
Why I'm here: I've always been on the big side and when I started my first year of college I ballooned and have continued to balloon, despite brief periods of trying to control my weight. Recently, I knew that I had gained some weight so I bought a scale and I discovered I weighed 309lbs! It was a shocker, as I know that the current size of clothes I'm wearing has not been my biggest! I don't have a plan yet, but I'm hoping that I can use this site, forums and blogs as a resource to get a lifestyle plan going. I have great friends, but I don't have any friends my size, so I feel like I don't have anyone who understands my struggle!
This is what I'm doing now that has gotten me where I am: I eat really crappy food (rarely cook), I binge at least once a week, I walk a lot, but I don't do any focused exercise.
What I'm looking for: to feel healthier and to re-adapt the natural food practice I had when I lived in Cali, to improve my physical strength and energy and to look sexier!
