Hi All!What an awesome website this is...I am so excited to be here and glad to have found all of you!
This is going to be a long journey and I am going to need all the help I can get! I am really ready to do this...not for anyone else...but for me and my future!!!
I've always been a "chubby" girl...(well...thinking I was chubby...but really not) and after fighting it all of my life I really let it go when I got married 5 years ago and I just didn't care anymore. It felt so good to just eat whatever I wanted and enjoy food and not think about it. My husband loves me no matter what...no dance costume, cheerleading skirt, formal or wedding dress to fit into...I finally felt free.
I am now at 300 lbs!! And all that freedom doesn't feel like freedom any more. I can't do many of the things I love to do. I can't believe I've gotton to this place...but I know I have the power to change it! I need to change my life. I want ot have a baby someday, I want to feel carefree again, I want to not cry in dressing rooms.
I have put myself on a 1200 calorie diet, staying under 25 grams of fat and 120 carbs (including veggies). I am coming off of a terrible ankle injury (part of what has contributed to my weight gain)...but I am hoping to start walking this week! My first goal is to get to 199. 101lbs. That will feel so free!
Anyway...thank you for being here..and I know with you guys, the support of my family and friends, and my willpower...I will get there!!
I look forward to doing this together!
xo,
