Hello! My name is ... Well just call me Kreamie.
I am not new to weight loss in fact, quite the opposite. When I was 13 years old I started on a weight loss journey. That journey came to end when I was 14. I had gone from 255 lbs to 125, I felt great! The only problem was, I was 14 I had no concept of what was healthy, Losing that much weight in a year and some consequences, I obsessed over my eating, often I felt like I was starting to have problems with an eating disorder. When I got to the point I felt like vomiting after meals, I decided I needed to not focus on my weight as much.
I have had severe anxiety most of my life, and my psychologist prescribed a heavy duty anti-psychotic, I was able to meet people and stop having so much anxiety. I met the man of my dreams and fell in love, I got engaged at 16, and truly stopped caring about my looks. About 2 years ago I decided the pills weren't for me, I stopped taking them and switched to more natural choices to control my anxiety, the only problem was I had ballooned to 265lbs! I felt betrayed, The pills had numbed me from seeing what I was doing to myself, none of my doctors or psychologist had bothered to even bring up the subject, no one had thought to change my pills, I had gained 140 pounds in 2 years.
I am currently at 250 lbs, at 20 years old this in unacceptable. I have this desire to be healthy, my looks will be a plus but my health is important to me. I want to do this the right way, to keep this weight off. I know how to count calories, and how much vitamins and fiber I should be getting, But I need the support. I will always have my fiance and friends to support me, but some things need to be done by myself, for myself. thats why I am here! I have a goal of 140-145 lbs. At a height of 5'8" that will put my BMI at 21-22 and still be a manageable weight for me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I look forward to getting to know you all and helping each other reach our goals!
