Blast from the past...
I found this site a few years ago (2006), and actually made a few posts. Then, I suppose, life happened, and I drifted away. I recently happened again upon the site, remembered my alias, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I can still log in. Hurrah!
A lot has changed since 2006. My weight has been all over the place, but more importantly, I got married and moved to Europe from the USA last year. I enjoy my life overall but coping with a totally new lifestyle and language has taken its toll. I feel like I've let myself go, and I don't like that. So now I am DETERMINED to do something about that.
I haven't known my weight since Jan 2007 -- then it was 127 or so (hey, I reached my goal!). I would guess that I weigh about 160 or so now. Not completely terrible, but I just don't feel comfortable in my body anymore. The cute jeans I have that don't fit anymore tell me more than a scale ever could!
So, I've been reading some of your stories this evening... THANK YOU for sharing them here! They have really inspired me! I was starting to lose hope that I can feel comfortable in my skin again, but you have given me hope. I am 29 years old, and I'd like to feel young and sexy again before I turn 30 next February.
I'm too afraid to weigh just yet. but I hope to post with progress in the form of pictures/old clothes that I can wear again/etc. My short-term goal is to have my favourite jeans from America fit loosely by the end of next month. Perhaps by then I will feel comfortable enough to weigh!
