The title says it all. I want myself back..not just my old weight, but also my old energy level, motivation, excitement, etc. I'm a mom to 4 who has finally decided to stop "talking" about wanting to lose weight and finally just take the actions to make it happen.
I spent the first 28 years of my life as a size 1 - 5, but have been inching my way up each year since then. I'm almost 35 yrs old and am now a size 16. I've been publicly mocked several times for my weight and feel that I am no longer treated with the same level of respect whether by strangers or even my own family members at times.
My goal is to keep my calories @ 1200 per day and to incorporate as much exercise as I can force myself to do. I walked/ran 1.5 miles today up & down a hilly area and did some hiking over the weekend for an hour. I have 50 lbs to lose, but not a specific time frame in mind. I just want to get back into shape and to become a more active participant in life again. I thought that might happen if I could just cut down on the calories and push myself to exercise during the weekdays.
I can't wait to get to know you all!
I want myself back!
