Hello... I'm new here ^^

Hello everyone! If you don't mind I will shortly tell my story and how I got here. Well basicly since I was a kid I was chubby and that never got away (genes -.-). I'm currently 19 years old. I finished school and I'm going to university in the fall. For the last 3 years I really wanted to get fit and live healthy, but I got a boyfriend and I have been struggling ever since. We had pretty big fights and I was in a pretty long 8 months depression, so last thing on my mind was working out, I'm sure some of you know how it feels. And then other problems took place. I started living all alone in the big city, this time no family members with me. And I got pretty lonely in the new place... Then with the coming of the new (and last) school year it got worse. I had problems with teachers all the time. It was pretty rough. I am also a cosplayer and passionate video games lover, so I always wanted to be as perfect as my idols are. Problem is that people make fun of me for my weight and I want to prove them wrong. In the end they won't get smarter, but I do can get slim, so... I decided that this summer I will really, REALLY get to work and by the end of the year to be close to the perfect body I'm aiming for. But first I want to get fit for the end of the summer, because I'm going on a vacation (it has been soo long -.-). So today I was just sitting at home and thinking - I want a change - So after a while I grabbed my bag and went to the gym. And amazing thing happened! The girl that works at the gym actually helped me and tomorrow she will make me a workout program. She was super nice. I am so motivated to do this. I set a goal for myself. To go to the gym every day of this week until the end of the month (I'm going away for couple of days so yeah, atleast I need to start somewhere!). When I get back from my travel I will also start swimming twice a week and visit the gym as many times a week as I can. 2 weeks and I already stopped eating bad food. I try to eat more healthy, more water, salad, fruits. I also tried running today and I liked it. So I'm sorry for the long, long story, but I really feel like I need some moral support by people who know how it feels. But I know that if I work hard - it will pay off!
 
Welcome to the forum.

Well done for making a great start. Keep it up and you will make your weight loss dreams come true.

You sound like you are really motivated which is great!

You mention enjoying playing video games - but I can assure you that sitting at home playing most video games can be a false friend... They tend to make people more inactive which increases their weight problems... They can even lead to people becoming less comfortable in going out and mixing with other people... You mentioned having gone through a period of depression when things were not going well with a boyfriend. The support of other people really helps at such times - so mixing with other people is really good...

If you really want to play video games - try to swap them for games like Wii Fit that people have used to encourage them to exercise...

I really want you to keep it up and make all your weight loss dreams come true...
