Lightbulb Hello to everyone here...and goodbye to procrastinating!

Hi everyone! I've been looking around the forum for inspiration and finally decided to make a post after seeing some amazing transformations and the overall positive vibe on here

I am an extreme procrastinator and I am sick and tired of not feeling good and not looking good either. I come from a household where I am constantly criticized for everything especially my weight so my self esteem was always low and food was a nice comfort.

Almost four years ago in highschool I was 154 lbs and I look back at pictures and I can see that I was slim and healthy but I thought I was fat and disgusting. Why? Because of my sister and mother's constant criticisms. Over the past few years I gained weight and even joined a gym but never went because I felt alone and had no motivation.

Every year I would promise to lose the weight...to start exercising....to eat properly. I am sick of seeing photos where I look disgusting...wearing clothes I hate and longing for more fashionable things- typical girl!

Last week I started exercising and for the past few weeks I have changed my diet....so far from the change in diet I already lost a solid 4.5 lbs. I've been using an app on my phone to record my exercises and my diet just to make sure I'm on the right track. I want to make this lifestyle change a habit- something I can do automatically and not feel that I can easily escape and procrastinate as I have done in the past.


My stats to date...
~ Age: 22 years old
~ Height: 5'9
~ Current Weight: 206 lbs
~ Goal Weight: 154 lbs

Heres to a new beginning and a happier, healthier future!
-Sorry for the long post! This is somewhat of a mini diary for me...letting off a little steam
