Wow, my first time! This is exciting. Well, I am currently really depressed, and I have no suport. I am hoping to join with other people like me. So, a little about me
I am 18 years old, and a college student. I compete on the track and field team, and I have a horrible job as a telemarketer. I am also married. I raise, breed, and show registered dairy goats. While I am in college, the goats are at a cheese dairy in 8 hours away.
My "battle of the bulge" started practically when I was born. My mother's family should be in a hall of fame, or something for the slowest metabolisms ever. All of my mom's family were athelites(high school, college, pro.) But they all have weight problems. My aunt(who was a national champion) is bulimec. My mom, while competing in college, would only eat a can a slimfast and a bag of trail mix a month. My uncle, who doesn't have an eating disorder, is about 500lb now. His eating habits are about the same as any average person. So ever since I was a child I was instructed on healthy eating habits.
Almost as soon as I reached 18, I ran away from my abusive home with my then boyfriend. I was always about 20lbs over weight(to me), but I kinda accepted it. (I say "to me" because as discus thower and being 6'0 I tend to way more than a normal person.) Over the summer, I have gained 40 lbs. I HATE IT! I feel out of place at practice. It is so embarassing to have your fat thighs slam together in front of your coach and other teammates. My clothes don't fit. I also have head aches and stomache aches constantly. My day is so busy with practice, school, and work I hardly find time to work out. My husband is one of those that can eat anyhting and still remain semi thin. He was the football and wrestling captian in high school so he is a bigger guy. He is also 4 years older than me. He got a cooking degree, and is now a manager at a bakery. After my asking him, he has kinda stopped bringing his "work" home with him. The main thing that bothers me about my husband is that he makes fun of me constantly. I say that it hurts my feelings, but he says "that is how he was raised." His dad is a cruel man that makes fun of people and says that he is just "kidding." So right now I am jogging at night and keeping a food log, along with my regular practice.
