A hard hit.

Went to the doctor today for my first physical in 4 years.

I always knew I was overweight.

Today I fell under the OBESE category on the BMI chart. Obese. This word has been haunting me ever since.


Besides the shock value of the word, I also learned a couple of things.

-I'm showing symptoms of diabetes (results pending).

-My knee pain can be helped by weight reduction.

-I'm going to have trouble conceiving.


I'm not planning on starting a family anytime soon, but I do want one.

I want kids.

I don't want this to get to the point in where I'm actually trying to have kids, and I can't, due to something so preventable. No way.

So here I am 22 years young ready for a change.


Since I don't have a 'significant other', and my family will love me no mater what, I'm doing this not only for my self but for my nonexistent future potential offspring. :blush5:
 
Hi there :)


Welcome, I only just joined the site too, but everyone seems friendly :)


Sorry to hear about your recent visit to the docs but on the bright side... better to start at 22 than 32!


Do you have any plans for nutrition? exercise? A short, medium, long term weight loss goal? Just being nosey :D


Have a good day,


Naif
 
Hello.


I'm way confused by your "obese" diagnosis if that is you at your current weight in your photo. You look perfectly healthy and a normal weight. Of course you may be overweight by a little bit, but obese? I don't get it.


Would you mind telling us how much you weight and your height?


In any case, it's great that you want to start on a path to get healthier, good luck on your journey :)
 
Hey sweetpea, welcome to the forum. Are you going to be logging your food and exercise here? Lots of us do to get feedback (and for us to be able to keep track of what we are eating!) You don't want to be eating any less than 1200.


I got a kick up the ass 2 years ago when I went to the doctor and was "obese." Was horrible. I was only 20! I lost 40lbs and then put it alllll back on again, so I'm back here now! Good luck and welcome again xx
