25 year old newbie
 

Hi everybody!

I'm so glad I found 3FC!!

I decided a couple of months ago that it was time to return to my previous healthy and confident self (33 pounds and 5 years ago...).
I know why I gained weight and I think that's a good start: it was a mix of beginning a serious relationship, having Helycobacteri pylori eradicated from my stomach (I've read a very interesting paper about this treatment and weight gain) and being unsatisfied and deeply sad with my academic choices.

Now I'm pursuing a more fulfilling career and although I'm much happier overall, I know that I will not feel completely fulfilled until I regain control of my body. I miss the physical and psychological strength I had before!

During the last 5 years I kept active (I don't drive so I walk quite a bit every week and I do try to workout at least 2x a week) but I have a big problem in controlling what I eat: I have a very big appetite (really, I'm always hungry...). This will be my biggest struggle.

I hope somebody there will relate to my situation and maybe we could support each other.;)

Welcome to 3FC and good luck! I'm sure you'll be successful, this site is a great resource!

Welcome! feel free to drop by the 20 somethings :D good luck!
