I'm back and here to take off this weight and start being healthy again!
I kinda feel bad making such a big deal about this because I'm been back and forth for SO long. No wonder no one believes me when I tell them I'm going to lose weight! But I realized something today: I have NO support system! I left school and moved home and most of my friends have not been as supportive as I would like. I never realized how important support was until I started reading some of the messages in this forum. I really can't go it alone because then when the hard times come, I crack under the pressure.
I have had several wake-up calls in the last few days:
1) I realized that I'm 23 with high blood pressure (how crazy is that!?!?)
2) I thought a friend's mom died (it turned out it was her grandmother) but it got me thinking about my own mom and how my family eats so terribly
3) A friend told me that both of his parents have cancer.
All of these events made me start to re-evaluate how I take care of my body and the poor choices I make everyday. I've only got one body and I want to treat it better!
So I'm hitting the road and making it happen! Anyone care to join me?
I'm Back!
