Hey, my name is Andrew and I'm back where I started... I'm so disappointed in my self. I swore I would never let myself get like this, but it happened. I'm 22 and having the time of my life. Everything is perfect except for my body. I was over weight as a kid and I let it ruin my childhood. I finally reached a point around 16 years old where I wasn't going to let food control me. So I got my ass in gear and took my weight into my hands. I lost a good 60 lbs. It changed my life and allowed me to reach all my goals, but now that I'm truly happy I find my self even heavier than before.
I'm ready to take charge and get back to where I need to be. I'm just pissed it had to go this far. I hope this journey is easier the second time around.
 
yeah you should definately identify why you gained the weight back to begin with...or it might turn right back into losing it, then gaining it again...vicious cycle.
 
I know how I got back here. I can name a dozen different reasons. Mainly my life became so busy and I stopped taking care of myself. I got in to a very serious relationship that started out long distance because of school. Every night instead of working out I was talking on the phone with him. When school was wrapping up I would fly out to his home town for weeks at a time. Needless to say maintaining my weight and work out routine was extremely difficult being in that foreign environment. But honestly I wasn't concerned about maintaining it. I found some one who accepted me as I am.

When we finally moved in together my weight skyrocketed. We both love to go out and have a good time and god cursed me by putting me in a city with numerous breweries. lol. Beer is culture here and I love it. Its been really hard to be consistent with my diet and exercise being in this relationship but I'm happier than I've ever been before. Its ever harder because I'm with a man who eats twice as much crap as I do, smokes, and drinks like a fish yet maintains an amazing body and has never been over 140 lbs.
It's cool though. I'm taking charge and I'm done with excuses. You've got to take care of yourself before you can take care of others, right?
