Hello everyone!
I guess I should introduce myself. I'm an 18 year old girl from the midwest, and I've always struggled with my weight. For most of my life I've been consistently about ten pounds overweight, but the last couple of years have really taken a toll on me. I've been struggling with stress, depression, confusion, etc. largely due to the transition into adulthood. I'm a strong person, and I'm coping, but my weight increased from a decent 150 to 170 pounds in roughly under a years time. I just recently went through a breakup (from a three year relationship!) and I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity to grow instead of an opportunity to give up. I've been lurking in this forum for about a year and a half now, but I feel like this is the first time I'm really seriously committed. There is no if, it has to happen for my physical (and mental) health.
I've been calorie counting (around 1300 each day) and working out consistently for two weeks now (weight training MWF and cardio everyday), and I've noticed results already. I have not yet weighed myself, as I feel that that would be more of a deterrent than an inspiration. I want to try to stay focused on the big picture. I guess more than anything this diary is my means of garnering support. Also, I've been rather lonely since the breakup.
On a personal level, my hobbies include writing (my passion), reading, smoking weed, school (it really can be fun!), and working out. I can't wait to connect with some of you guys. It feels like it's been a while since I've had the opportunity to meet new people.
