Almost 22. Fed up.

Hi, I'm a 21 year old student, and I'm really fed up with feeling chunky and unfit.

I think I've always felt bigger than I actually am, but the last few years at uni have put me in the worst shape I've ever been in. I'm too easily tempted by junk food, and don't get nearly enough exercise.

I rarely eat breakfast, and tend to have bad sleeping patterns, although it's now downhill until I had in my final year project so I'm getting into a better routine (he says at 00:44).

I'm planning on rejoining the gym, and for the past couple of weeks, I've been avoiding unnecessary foodstuffs.

It's not long 'til summer, and I don't want to be embarrassed to take my t-shirt off for the nth year running :/
 
I don't actually know at the moment. I've not weighed myself for a long time (and don't have a set of scales).

I'm about 6 foot though.

:) thanks for the welcome.

HI, I was just wondering, because you said you always felt bigger then you actually were and you rarely eat breakfast. You don't have any reason to be embarrassed, because you are trying to face your problem to do something about it. And since you are still in school, you may need to eat a little something before going to school. Eating a little something in the morning is like putting gas in your car to give it fuel to keep running that day. Dieting shouldn't be about cutting out all together, but making the right choices to stay healthy. If you are not eating properly through the day and waiting and eating late at night. This maybe why you are having sleeping problems and studying late at night for school doesn't help much either, but sometimes you may not have a choice of the times to study.

Good luck to you again!!
 
Thanks for the reply AnnaGail

In this last week, I've been getting used to going to bed by 10pm (ignoring my first post on here last week, that is..), and having 3 sensible meals per day.

This alone has made me feel a lot better about things, and I'm finding that, even though I'm hungry for an hour before the next meal, I don't have the urge to start pigging out.

It's been difficult to stay in a routine for most of my university career, but now that it's the final stretch, I find that I have something to do every day, and because I get a lot done during the day, I don't feel the need to carry on through the night as I would've done previously.
 
That is good to hear! I hope the best for you, I hope you start a Journal/diary? Do keep us posted. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged!
