New member. Attempting to Turn Over a New Leaf.
Hello everyone. My name is Katie. I'm really glad I found this website. I really hope to find great support and that this site helps me. Okay so about me. I am 22 years old, 5'4'' and 315 pounds. My goal weight is 180 pounds so I have 135 pounds to lose. At this point anything less than 180 sounds too small to me, but when I get there I may change my mind. I have been overweight my entire life. Ever since I can remember I have been on some sort of diet. I have never been able to wear nice/cute clothes. When I was in 8th grade I did the Dr. Atkins diet and lost around 60 pounds. I had to get off the diet because my energy started to get very low and I didn't want to do anything but sleep. After I got off the Dr. Atkins diet I felt so much better. I actually wanted to do fun stuff. Unfortunately I gained all my weight back. I stayed around the same weight through 8th grade through 12th grade. When I went to college I didn't gain the freshman 15, I actually lost about 30 pounds. I was losing weight because I was doing more walking than I had ever done before just walking up to class, I had lots of selections to pic from in the cafeteria and a fresh salad bar every day. I was working out in the gym and I felt good about myself. While losing the weight I was dating a guy. We broke up and I lost a few more pounds in hopes that maybe he would notice. The end of the first year of school came to an end and I went home. I met another guy and dated him through the summer. He was cheating on me and used the excuse of distance to break up with me. I didn't find out about him cheating until I was back at school and when I found out I went into a total depressed state. My depression went on for a while and I gained all the weight that I lost back and then some. A while later I finally met my now fiance', we've been together 3 years, and I've gained about 100 pounds in that 3 year time span. So that is where I am today, 100 pounds heavier. But today is where I have taken a step to change it
