Hello Everyone,
I am new to 3FC, and its been awhile since I have done the forum thing.
Personal Stats:
I am 22 years old, I will graduate college in December with a bachelors in Accounting. I think I am going to be one of those accountants that are going to be broke because I have a heart and a passion for people that have very small businesses, and people that just cant plain afford decent accounting services. I am a full on christian, and Jesus is the ultimate romancer of my heart. He is so good all the time even when the skies are black. I am at a point in my life where change is happening constantly and I am excited about it. I have no kids or husband.....yet.
Weight Loss History:
For me to say I have had weight issues my whole life would be an understatement. I am 6 ft tall and growing up doctors didn't know what to with me because I was off the normal range of weight calcs because I was tall. So as time went on I gained more and more weight. Then high school, I got fed up my junior year of being the fat girl so I lost 60lbs on the Atkins diet, and looked fantastic guys were drooling everywhere. It stayed off until my freshman year in college which was 2003. Then since then I have steadily gained about 30 lbs a year for the last 5 years.
As of 21 weeks ago I started Weight Watchers and have had great success I have lost 28.6 lbs. I don't go to the meetings, but my girls bible study group checks in on me and another girl in my group almost everyday. We encourage and edify gain or lose. We had our first 50lb combined weight loss party about a month ago. I want to get down to what a normal weight for someone my age and I have seen that around the 170lb mark so that is my goal
Theology on weight:
Food and I have been enemies and yet best friends for many years. I love to eat. I love to cook food, smell food, taste food, experience food. In general, thinking about cooking or food makes me happy. However, it had become a crutch and a mental game I played with myself. I know I need to eat to sustain myself however eating made/makes me happy at least temporarily.
Now I have found ways to entertain myself besides with food and it is not so much of a crutch for me but I still have my days.
Phew! now that I have all that out I am excited to be here. I need to work on getting one of those cool weight loss graph things everyone has.
Bye!
and we are excited to have you here.
