Hey there.
I'm always stumbled upon this site in my fits of searching online for some miracle way to lose weight, and I would briefly read about some before and after threads and it gave me motivation--for about a week.
I'm 23, and I weigh 327 pounds. About four weeks ago I was 317. I'm not really sure how I put on an extra 10 pounds that fast, but I'm trying not to think about it. I just moved out to a new apartment, my first time moving out of my Mom's, and it was scary and very stressful. Thankfully, I have my fiance with me. I met him online 5 years ago, and just barely met in person about a year and a half ago. Ever since meeting him I noticed I had been putting on the weight slowly but surely. I don't know if it was because I was finally happy, and I loved going out to eat with him, and I felt good! I just wish I noticed before it was too late. Until I felt like this.
I feel bad sometimes because I kinda get angry at him thinking it was all his fault for making me so happy that I forgot to take care of myself! How does that even happen? I don't know. All I know is I need to fix it. Before we moved in together at my mom's last year, I weighed about 280-ish.
Today was the last straw. I'm sick and tired of being tired all the time. I feel like I'm a normal skinny-ish girl stuck in this body that isn't me. I'm tired of being totally winded getting out of my car (we have a really low sports car) and my stomach pressing up on me while driving. I'm tired of never taking pictures below my chin because I'm so ashamed.
So here I am. I'm hoping that I stick through it. I really do. My fiance is along with me, since he has put on about 50 pounds with me as well. We're going to start eating healthy. I just find it a bit hard since we both work for an Amazon warehouse, and as soon as we get home we are TOO tired to cook or do anything. We work 5 8 hour shifts every week, and we're about to get into our busiest time which work weeks will go up to 60's. I just hope we don't lose focus then.
But yes, sorry for the long intro. I felt like I needed to get it off my chest.
So here goes nothing. We went to work out today for about 30 minutes (cause that's all we could really do without being exhausted), and hoping tomorrow after work we'll do it again. Little by little maybe?
