Well from reading several posts on here, people seem to be utterly supportive so i figured i should give it a try as well!
To tell you a little about myself, i am 31 years old 5'3 and also have been batteling with my weight for several years. At my largest i was 209lbs many years ago and was able to some how bring it sown to 160, over the past few years ive bounced from 180 to 160 constantly. I am constantly aware of my weight and i have a tendance of going into spring and fall weight kicks but can never seem to maintain <-- its a motivational thing really! (I lose it quickly)
And now for a little GRRRRRR venting!!!!
I had a close friend whom made a comment to me recently ("we're both the same size so it doesn't really matter") i was about 178 at the time and this comment very much bothered me cause i looked at her in a different way.
I thought to my self " am i really that big, o no if we are both the same size i don't want to look like this"! So shortly after i hopped on my treadmill (spring kick)
She come in one day and caught me on it and laughed at me and said "what are you doing"? And for the second time i was furious with her comment, thinking " as if, what does it look like im doing?"
Now i say (HAD) a friend cause i realized shes not much of a friend at all for not being supportive in my decission to get into shape so i took it upon myself to DUMP A FRIEND, its not a nice thing to do but i did it anyway.
Now she recenty qiute smoking which i think is awsome, i however still smoke (thumbs down) she looks like she has gained at least 10-15 lbs over the course of the summer and i however have been on my (fall kick) back at trying to lose weight. I started on August 28th of this year and to date have lost 24 lbs, i feel great and my clothes are fitting quite nicely!
We were recently at an event together and i had a sence of being gocked at with eyes on me from head to toe, not a nice feeling but at the same time it was an awsome feeling cause i worked so had to get where i am!
So i guess i am here for the support, stories, and the motivation to keep on going, idealy i would like to be at 135 -140 and it is becoming a struggle at this point in time.
And basically get some insight on how to deal with other peoples negativity, its a work in progress for me to eliminate the negative people in my life and focus of positive.
Maybe it all comes down to jealousy, but i don't know
Thank you to all who have taken the time to read my blurb, and i cant wait to start meeting all of you!
You all seem like such a supportive group.
