Hello everyone.
I signed up for this forum and then realized that I was a member back in June '04. The worst part was reading my old introduction and seeing how much my life has changed since then. At the time, I was around 115 (I'm 5'6"), and was doing cardio 5 days and lifting 4 days a week.
So much has happened since then. I went through some personal issues that fall which led to a complete lifestyle/mentality change. I was probably around 120-125 over the next few years (which was okay I suppose) and was working out regularly for the most part.
Then came 2006. I ruined everything. I wasn't working, wasn't motivated and was in a very unstable relationship. I can't blame these things- I know that, but I basically gave up my clean eating and exercising. Then this year I reached my highest weight of 140. Ugh. Talk about self esteem issues. I didn't want to leave my house most days and my addiction to food grew stronger even though it created so many problems for me.
This summer, I finally took charge and started working out again. I've lost almost 10 pounds and have been working out regularly, for the most part. My goal is to get back down to 120 and I don't see why I shouldn't be able to achieve that.
I still struggle with my eating but am doing much better. I just can't seem to be the consistent person I used to be. I'm averaging 3 days a week at the gym and I don't know why I can't push myself to do more.
Anyway, I've rambled here.
Just wanted to say hi (again) and find a place where I can get support from others.
I wish you all the best..
