I think I can, I think I can..
Hello! I am a 33 year-old female and have, as many have, struggled with my weight my entire life. I am ready for a change. I am scared, I am thrilled, but I NEED to be successful and make peace with my body..
About 10 years ago I lost nearly 80 pounds.. and I feel a bit overwhelmed at coming back to this place having gained it all back..but, I'm here.
I don't feel like I have the same fire as I did 10 years ago - being so passionate about doing everything perfectly and go-go-go.. Right now I have a quiet resolve, almost a stubbornness that I must choose to change. It's non-negotiable. I'm exhausted by being exhausted, I am tired of feeling tired. What am I waiting for?!!
I ask myself how to make this weight loss journey successful. And I realize it's accountability - to myself and to others, really keeping track of my food and exercise, and consistency.. (I say it as though it is so easy!).
And reaching out to people who understand the struggle - and, frankly, just not giving up..
I have been reading a lot of the posts here for awhile and realize that instead of just reading I need to be brave and actually participate..
So, hopefully I can connect with a few of you and we can encourage one another along. I love the amazing success stories here.. it really makes my heart sing and feel inspired to see that many people have achieved their dreams..
I have a loooooong way to go.. but.. here i go!!
