Hey everyone, My name is Simi. I am a 27 year old pre nursing student, and I've been overweight since about the age of 19... I finally decided to do something about my weight when I broke out of the 220's and realized I weighed 239lbs... that was 2 weeks ago, I'm proud to say that my weight loss has been off to a great start, I've lost 10lbs in two weeks on the Thurman diet.
Yay for water weight!
I think it's really sad that when I was much younger people made fun of me for being too thin... and throughout high school I thought I was obese and disgusting to look at. I've tried to lose weight multiple times, and I've even shaved off a few dress sizes, but they always come back because I've never lost the weight purely for myself.
I think that, becoming healthy for me and no one else, is more of my goal than the actual loss of weight is.
I'm really excited to go through this journey with all of you... I think online support groups are a phenomenal idea; people can learn so much from each other if they just give it a chance.
Here's to a healthy lifestyle, and a happy life.
