Hi everyone I wanted to introduce myself. I am a 25 year old single mother who wants to loose the weight for several reasons but the number one is my daughter. I want to be able to run and play with her and not worry about being out of breath after ten min. Also I want to do it for myself I want to feel better when I look at myself in the mirror after I get out of the shower in the morning. I have been heavy my whole life and it was always told to me oh you will grow out of it so eat your fried chicken and drink half a gallon of sweet tea. So I want to learn to eat and live better so my daughter will not have to face the struggles in life that I have. Do not get me wrong I am a proud person and flaunt what I have and do not let people say things and eat away at me for being big. But I just think that it is time for a change. So that is me in a nut shell!!! It was nice to me yall and look forward to many discussions and advice along my journey!
OMG....Did you say fried chicken? It is my absolute down fall...
Good luck! It's hard but it seems to get easier the longer you stick to it. I have fallen off the wagon here and there recently. BUT, this forum has helped me keep on truckin. This is the first time ever that I cheated in the morning and was back on plan by lunch, in the past it would have been 3 days if I was lucky...
Welcome, and I'm sure you'll be fine, just keep coming back. We've all been there - for me it's PORTIONS, and while you can just cut out fried chicken, it's super hard to stop at one plateful, for me. Good luck, and congratulations for starting on this for your daughter.
I never knew what fried chicken was in Cyprus (the island in the Mediterranean) until KFC opened up in the 1990s. Oh I know the pain. Luckily I was never too tolerant of fried food (the only thing I love about my appetite) so I can only have a piece or two with an American biscuit. So no fries when I eat it and I eat it in rare occasions. But yeah it is quite delicious.
How do you work off 25 years of FRIED CHICKEN?
