new to site and weightloss!
Hi, my name is Jyn and I am brand new to this site. My mother sent me a link to this site a couple of weeks ago and I have been looking on it for moral support. I am about 235lbs (which isn't so bad because i was 260 as of last Febuary ). Just since I have been out of high school I have put on those 60 some odd pounds while i was living in Seattle (oh my god they have some amazing food out there), but since i have moved back to Montana i have been really trying to focus on getting myself healthier. I come from a very obese southern family and sometimes the odds just seem against me, and after breaking up with my long term boyfriend last year ( he said i looked to much like a guy becuase of my extra weight and my short short hair) I have really been trying to get things in perspective. I have wanted to lose this weight for years now but I never have the motivation to do so. i would idealistcly like to be about 150-170, i have started to swim about 2-3 times a weeks and have been cutting down my calories to about 1200-1500 a day, and trying to cut down n the soda (huge weakness for me!) if anyone has any info on how they were able to boost there motivation please let me know, or if anyone would like a partner. I sometimes dont think that i view myself as heavy as I am (has anybody else had this problem of denial?) and i get away with it because being in the punk rock lifestyle I can just cover it up with baggy clothing but i am just not happy anymore with myself or my image. So thanks for listening and i am really stoked about being part of this website.
