I have been a little apprehensive to actually register and start posting in these forums, but I think to have people supporting me will help me reach my target quicker. One of the reasons I have really been holding back is because I am only 19 and I have been married for a year. My husband I did get married very young and I know that people will not agree with our decisions. I believe that disclosing that I am married is important because since my husband and I started dating 3 years ago I have, shall we say, “fallen off the wagon.” After trying to catch up several times, I have finally decided it is time to get back with it and start a journey to a successful, healthier life.
When I was younger I was never the skinniest girl (not that I wanted to be). I also wasn’t healthy. My dad has also had a battle with weight since he got married. He has never really done anything about it; I do not want my life to be like that. My weight has always been a challenge in my life; I have always felt like a failure when it came to my weight and being healthy. My mother would also sometimes tell me that I needed to lose weight or that an outfit wasn’t “flattering” to my body type unless I lost weight. My sophomore year of high school it seemed as if my battle was over; I was healthy. I worked out several times a week (sometimes twice a day!) and I drank TONS of water and lost at least 20lbs, but like I said, I fell off the wagon. I guess I have gained weight one pound at a time; my job in accounting doesn’t help either since I sit down almost all day. I look back at pictures of me even a few months ago and think if only I had done something then. I know that eating healthier and maintaining workout routines is difficult and I am now ready to quit being lazy and work hard.
Right now I weigh 160 lbs and I hope to get back to my weight my sophomore year or less (115 or less). I feel like this change will make my relationship with my husband stronger because I will no longer feel like I am an inadequate wife. I love my husband and I know he loves me, but he often says he wishes I looked the same as I did back then or at least try to be healthier, and I feel like I owe it to him to work hard for this because he works hard for me. I also feel like if I make this change now that I can be on the right track for a healthier life in the future.
I wish all the best to everyone else in the forums!
