Hello everyone,
I found this site randomly this morning when googling if Bitter Lettuce was healthier for you than non-bitter (my romaine has become quite bitter and I'll suffer through it if its healthier lol).
Anyways, its nice to find a community of people who are going through similar things and I am hoping that finding people to build friendships with who share a common goal.
I've never joined a group like this before but am honestly open to giving it a shot and seeing if it helps
As for myself, to be honest its been a while since I've weighed myself. My average weight has always been about 130-135 but the last time I weighed myself I was almost 170 and I've been too afraid to weigh myself since :/ and based on my current body shape, I know i've become even more unhealthy since then...
I have a really bad habit of over eating and eating too often. I dont know why food has become such a constant in my life (more so than normal). And I know that because of my unhealthy habits, I dont feel very good too often. It makes it hard to keep up with exercising regularly when you have a headache or have zero energy or whatever else ails me at the time :P even though I know i feel like poo because I am so unhealthy.
My goal through all of this IS to become more healthy. Losing weight is important to me personally for my own mental health, but I find that I do better when I tell myself that I really just want to be healthy. I want to be able to go up the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment and not feel out of shape. I want to be able to run to save my life if I ever need to. I want to be able to keep up with my boyfriend and give him a challenge, or go for mile(s) long walks and not mentally dread it because of the distance :P I want to be better for myself, and in turn, better for him. But mostly for myself.
I do love myself, but I cant keep going the way that I am. So here's to one more thing that can help! Big hugs everyone <3 Lets become healthier together!
Here's to finding Weight Loss Companions!
I'm a mother of two boys (9 & 10) and happily married to their step-father for almost 2 years. With my 36th birthday coming up in a couple days (Thursday), I'm painfully aware of my weight problem. Ironically, I'm an active duty military member struggling with weight. My boys and I went through years of **** with my ex-husband, all three of us struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression which led to me gaining almost 35 lbs in a year. Today was my breaking point. When I got into uniform, my top button on my pants literally tore off. I have been trying to get started for months and as I sit here eating Chick-fil-A, I can't figure out why I can't get started again. Maybe with a little camaraderie and accountability here, I'll be able to finally get my rear back in gear.
Motivated
