Seeking Self Confidence....halfway there
Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm 34 (okay, 33 for another week) and I live in Florida. I have a lot to lose, over 100 pounds. I've been off and on diets for what seems like an eternity. I currently weigh 247 pounds, and want to get down to about 140. I've had lots of issues with depression and self esteem in the past, and am tired of living that life. I've gotten my depression issues controlled (yay medication!) and have made great strides in my self-confidence, though I'll be the first to admit I have a ways to go. I need to get my physical issues dealt with. Since a recent therapeutic breakthrough, I've undergone a sea change in my eating, and controlling my eating and losing this weight no longer seems like a lost cause. In fact, I feel quite optimistic about it.
I don't plan on following a diet so much as simply listening to my body and feeding it well. My overall diet is generally healthy. I plan on keeping portion sizes in check, and not binging the way I used to (I haven't since my breakthrough, and haven't wanted to). I've never really been able to stick with tracking, though I've tried. It makes me obsessive, and I'm tired of that relationship with food and eating.
In the end, I want to be the person that my hairdresser thinks I am--self confident and fabulous. I'm halfway there now. I want to be all the way there.
