Hi everyone!! I have found myself just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Frequently, I feel like a cross between Elvis Presley and Violet who eats the gum in Willie Wonka. I am fed up with being single because I'm too ashamed to date.... fed up with being too tired on my days off to do the things I used to love, like hike and shop...and fed up with turning down social invites because I feel too fat and ugly and don't fit into my clothes....and just fed up with being uncomfortable.
My plan: I'm joining Orange Theory fitness (anyone familiar??) and starting their weight loss challenge on 01/16 that lasts for 6 weeks. I plan on going to a session 4 times/week. I am also splurging on a meal plan that delivers all meals for 5 days every sunday. I am hoping if someone just tells me what to do, and I follow along, something will happen.
I am up to 245lbs. That is a 60 pound weight gain in 4 years. I am hoping to shed 25 pounds in the first 6 weeks. I have PCOS, like many other obese females, and I am praying that dropping some estrogen laden pounds, I can control my symptoms.
Anyone out there hitting it hard right now?? Experience with Orange Theory or meal prep services? Anyone at all that just wants a buddy to check in on them and support one another through this journey? It's hard. So hard. I'd be happy to have a friend along the way. I think my other friends are tired of hearing about my latest and greatest diet fad that I never seem to succeed with.
Cheers to a new body and a new life!
