I feel so new to the losing game

  • Hey all, I'm new here. I always struggled with my weight as many as you have yourselves. Even when I would start another diet, my mind set was, "I always quit. Why bother?". At some point, something in my brain turned off that negative switch and I feel like I can do this. I worked as a hotel maid (worse job ever!), but I lost 20 lbs just doing that. I was so surprised! I quit that job and started thinking that maybe I can do this. I haven't really thought until more recently how much I want this. I want to be able to join the air force. My first goal is to get into the rotc program. I have set goals for in my life that begins with weight loss. I never liked exercise until now. I like working out. I have 80 something lbs to go, but I am so motivated, it'll melt away in no time. I just joined a gym last week and I love working out there. I had bought a puppy this year and since I started walking him I noticed I am pushing myself farther and farther. Now we will take walks for an hour or more. I started going down hiking trails with him and, whenever I buy a bike seat, I'll start biking. Anyways, I hope I make some friends on here. Everyone needs support.
  • Welcome! I'm new here as well. Sounds like you're off to a good start. Sometimes motivation can wean, however, so we're all here for each other. Congratulations on taking that first step and seeking support. Good luck on reaching your goals and getting into the air force (great way to go, by the way... a great number of my friends are air force).
