Introducing me, and I just need motivation!!
Hi guys, my name is Danielle – I am 25 years old, and I have fought with my weight since I can even remember. I am not huge or anything, but I am chubby and I am overweight and I want to beat this before I am huge, and before it’s ‘too late.’
I first joined this site in May of 2012, and then earlier on this year I had joined and started participating and everything a little more actively. At that point I had reached my first 10lbs lost, BUT I ended up spraining my ankle, and that put a wrench in my weight loss journey. I had to not do much for a month to 6 weeks to let my ankle heal.. and that’s when I fell off my routine. And of course when you’re not exercising, you fall off the wagon of making the right decisions with eating the right things, etc.
Now, I am back in the 180’s, which is something I never wanted to see ever. I am at 183 as of this morning, and I am trying to get back into exercising. My start right now is just walking my dogs every day for atleast 2 miles. I did 2miles yesterday and 2miles Wednesday. It’s so strange for me to start in the middle of a week, usually I tell myself “Nope, I will start next week” but I just can’t stand it. WHY wait? I need to get on this and start losing weight. I just need to.
I have never known what it feels like to be skinny, or even just simply healthy. And noticing that my clothes aren’t fitting – and I just feel like I don’t look good in ANYTHING. I don’t want to go shopping anymore, not that I ever really liked it, but I just can’t find anything I like and I know once I lose weight it’ll just open so many more doors.
I hope that I can find some official friends on here, and find a lot of ways to keep me accountable and keep me on track and on plan.
I really would love to meet someone to be close friends with and contact each other daily and support one another through texts/emails, and whatever. If you’re interested in that, it would be wonderful.
I just find this so hard, and I know I’m not the only one.
Anyways – heres to a new me!
