Hi, how are ya?
Let me start by saying, I have used these forums before but I forget my old username! However, I loved posting here and it really did give me motivation to lose some weight. My eating behavior and exercise regimen were so good when I was active, and I loved updating my little weightloss ticker I had in my signature all the time.
A lot has changed for me since I was here last. My ultra supportive boyfriend, who never had a problem with my weight whatsoever, has recently ended the relationship due to unrelated personal issues. Since then, I moved across the country, secured a full time job, began college in pursuit of my Bachelor's degree in the arts, annnnd... gained a lot of weight! I haven't stepped on a scale recently, but I will tomorrow morning. I'm scared of what it will say, but I know right now my body does not feel good to me. All of my pants are tight, even my "fat jeans", and I feel rolls touching together where they never did before!
I've been focused on finding a replacement companion for the past couple months, until it finally hit me that I need to love myself first before I ever allow another person into my life. I hope to keep my motivation this time, in lieu of having the doting appreciations of a male in my life, and in spite of my newly extremely busy lifestyle. We'll see how it goes.
