Hello everyone!
I am new to the board- and also new to my weight loss journey.
My Name is Luz. I am 27 years old. I am barely 4' 11" and have always been slender. My weight from the age of 16-22 was always between 105-110
I have now come to realize that the main reason I was able to maintain that weight was that I was young and was a super picky eater. As I got older- I realized I was missing out on a lot of delicious food (avocados, bacon, cream cheese- are some of the things I refused to even taste when I was younger) and I started forcing myself to try stuff. Well- let's just say I loved almost everything I tasted!
In 2006 I got married. My husband has a great appetite and can consume insane amounts of food without gaining too much weight. As newlyweds, our favorite date nights always included going to restaurants or ordering out for delivery.
Over the years, I noticed that I was gaining weight- but I was in denial over how much. Until last week.
We are planning a beach vacation this summer and I decided to try on a bikini. BIG MISTAKE!!!
or I guess I should say it was a Big wake up call! I finally bought a scale and weighed myself: 138lbs!
I know that 138 lbs might not seem like a huge number- but for my body frame it is definitely a lot. I have put on 33 lbs- and am officially starting on my path to losing them.
I hope to share my journey with everyone here- I already read some success stories and they have truly motivated me!
If you made it this far- thank you for reading
