After almost two decades of being overweight...
I want to believe this is it, for real.
I was 7 the first time someone told me I was fat. I've always felt fat and ugly and I think that has led me to get fatter. I look back at pics from high school - I wasn't even fat. I was 5'7" and 165 - that's not bad at all. I wasted that time thinking I was fat and getting fatter.
I have been an emotional eater, a bored eater, someone who zones out while eating, and someone who just loves food.
I have gone for long stretches without feeling hungry - I never gave myself the chance.
I lost 25 lbs last summer, not from a diet but just from a temporary change in living situation (different place, internship, no car, cooking for one) and I was so jazzed. I gained 10 back. I don't want to be like this.
I gained wait during a depression, after a surgery, after going back to school...all sorts of things just kept piling it on until I got here.
So, I am trying to turn things around. I am in my 20s, a vegetarian, and I love cooking. I am doing WW on my own. I am 5 days in.
I have a blog, too. I won't link it here but it's in my profile.
