Hi All!
I'm 28 y/o on the east coast trying to get my life back in order...
I've been the funny chubby girl since about puberty but my weight only really got out of control when I moved in with my boyfriend (now ex-fiancé). I've gained a good 60+ pounds in the past 6 years. I got comfortable in love and just stopped being motivated about keeping my body perfect, hence the weight gain. This past April my fiancé told me he 'loved me but just wasn't in love with me anymore.' I just didn't do it for him anymore. He moved out of the house we worked so hard to buy. I was devastated and in the few weeks that followed lost 20 pounds due to loss of appetite. I've since moved in with my sister and had to rent my home to strangers. This has forced me to take a hard look at my life and who I was living it for. I'm trying to look at the positives in this journey. One of those positives has been a kick start to my weight loss. I take daily 2 miles walks with my mother and sister and count calories using Self Magazine's online system. My problem is I'm so afraid to gain back any weight that I've lost that I'm only eating when I'm hungry and limiting myself to very few things to eat. My average daily calorie intake is about 950. My go to foods are cottage cheese and homemade chicken chili. I've tried to cut out most carbs, sugar and caffeine. I just need the motivation and support to do things right. I look forward to getting great tips and support from people that are familiar with the struggles of weight loss.
Thanks so much!!
