hello all well i'm 27 and a grad student . i always start diets and after loosing a couple i go back to my old eating habits. but hey my high school reunion is next year so i have an extra motivation this time besides the most important one that is i don't want to be tired by doing the most simple tasks and i almost always want to strangle my family members for making the most rude comments. i think having a sister that weights less than a 110 lbs at 26 yrs old and always have been the thin and pretty one has affected my view of what i have to become. but i have realized that i' me and that my body is not the same as hers i will work with what i have and learning to love myself more everyday.
Gosh, it took me a REALLY long time to accept that "My sister and I are not the same person, and it is ok if we are different" message - I'm glad you're getting it. Comparison just makes everyone upset and doesn't help a thing.
I'm glad you've found us. What sort of plan are you going to follow? Most likely, we have a forum for it, so look around and keep posting. You might want to check out the 100 Lb Club forum and the 20-Somethings area, to start.
Welcome to 3fc!
One of the best pieces of information you'll find here is to get out of that 'diet' mindset.. A 'diet' is a temporary thing, and so the weight comes back.. You have to make a change for life, and so once you get it off, you keep it off forever.
Good luck with your weight loss!!
sick of making excuses
and learning to love myself more everyday.
