"Brand-New" to Change
Hi all;
Thought I'd intro myself. Short story: been chunky and fat all my life. I'll be 30 in a few weeks and I'm topping the scales now at 250+. (I'm only 5 feet tall.) I'm feeling desperate to do something. I have 2 sisters, who are both MUCH smaller than I - one's a size 6 and the other a 12. I'm a size 30. (Hence, my user name. that's how I feel around them.)
I was recently enlightened on the reasons WHY I medicate myself with food. There are certain parts of my character that I'm ashamed of, and know that I can't change. What I need to change is my response to them - and accepting me as ME - and all of me. The cool thing about this is that as soon as I made this "discovery" about myself, my urge and compulsions to eat nosedived by 50%. After that, I had an experience that triggered a binge-type reaction in me, and all these light bulbs went on in my head.
Now that I'm seeing things more clearly, I need someone to keep me on the "strait and narrow", as it were. I need to keep my motivation and remember why it is that I got this fat and why I need to change.
Hope to find a "kindred spirit" for my lifestyle changes. Cya on the boards!
