Pudgebrownie Here!
Hello! I'm Pudgebrownie but you can call me Pb :]
I am 26 years old, happily married and reside in the state of Utah. I have struggled with my body image since I was about ten years old and developed an eating disorder in my teens. I continued to battle with food and my weight up until about four years ago when various complications popped up. I then started the gradual process of being able to eat food and not feel ashamed of it. I got to a healthy weight and maintained it for about a year or so before I started to see myself gain excessive weight. I have since been diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance that I was never aware of prior because of my ED. I have gained about 60lbs within the last couple years. After consulting my physician and talking with my husband, I realise there are other alternatives to losing weight without punishing yourself. But it has been hard.
So, starting about two weeks ago, I have diligently started exercising daily and watching my food consumption. I am already seeing results but could really use the extra support from others that are striving to achieve the same goals. I was absolutely blown away by the success stories around here and continue to be inspired by others that are making extraordinary progress. Hope to get to know everyone and I'm excited to start posting some of my progress pictures too (once I reach 25 post counts that is).
