Hello everyone,
My name is Jen and I am 24 (25 in sept) and have just reached a point where I am sick and tired of hating the girl in the mirror and can honestly say I am not happy with myself and miss the days I used to at least have some good feelings about myself.
I just graduated college and am in the look for my first job, which is really stressful and hurtful for weight loss since I find myself sitting around my apt bored with nothing to do but think and snack. My friends are all in pretty good shape so they dont understand why shopping has lost its appeal for me and why now going out isnt fun because well im the girl who doesnt get approached any more because well my friends look way better.
I have a gym membership but cant seem to find the motivation to go more then once a week (sometimes not even that). I have decided to make this Lenten season (catholic thing) as a help in my weight loss journey but eliminating all take out/fast food, in the hopes that cooking my own meals will help me cut down on calories.
I just feel sick, disguested, depressed and alone with my weight and physical apperance and felt that perhaps by joining here I will find others who might feel the same way or at least be there for some motivation and maybe even be a workout buddy since I cant find one close to me. Even having someone to check in with and share this journey with would be great, I would love to be a support for someone too and hear how they are dealing with their own progress and issues.
Well enough ranting..good luck to everyone on their way to a healthier life
