Hi all,
I've been lurking for about a week and finally decided to post.
I've always lived my life with the goal of being proactive and not reactive. My happiness came from knowing I am in total control of my life, and I apply that philosophy to every aspect-- except when it comes to eating. Everything else is going so well for me, and I can directly attribute it to hard work, goal setting, and trying to be a good person. I am so happy with everything going on right now... well, almost. All this is overshadowed with how unhappy I am with my body. This makes me so frustrated! I've worked so hard and now my inability to control eating is the only thing standing between where I am and who I want to be.
Until now, I've completely avoiding taking a hard look at why this is. Why can't I eat healthy? Why do I hold myself to high standards everywhere else but eating? I've never held myself responsible for anything to do with food. This. must. change.
I'll figure out how to post pics and all that in a bit. But for now, here are my stats:
-fab. female
-26 yo
-5'9
CURRENT: 197 lbs at last weigh-in (Last Thursday)
GOAL: 160 (this was my happiest weight, 5 years ago in college)
any tips totally welcome! both for lbs dropping & website info...
love,
peggle
