I am 29, married with 4 children and work full time for a human services agency. I have been overweight all of my life with a few brief stints of weight loss in between. I have tried almost every diet, but usually don't stick with it for long. I am successful at most of the hobbies and projects I try...but...not weight loss. I feel pretty good about myself in every area...except my body. Last year, I was diagnose with a slow thyroid. Of course, that is the last thing I need--slow metabolism. What a bummer! I gained 40 lbs very quickly.
I thought I would give this chicks site a try. Maybe talking to others would be helpful, supportive, and motivational to myself and others. I am definitely a people person and love to socialize. Currently, all of my closest friends are thin and never have to worry about what they eat. They can't really relate to where I am right now. !
Currently, I am 150 lbs overweight. I carry it well...but...there is only so much you can do with a 5'4 height.
When I was younger---I was more concerned with what I looked like, but now I want to feel better and avoid health problems for my future. I am pretty healthy now and I want to keep it that way! I am looking for a buddy who is human and also makes mistakes...but is looking for a partner in a challenging journey. Maybe we can make it fun!
I love fun stuff. I am completely open to all suggestions.
drink lots water, eat less and snack on veggies. ttfn
