Hello everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Kwiden and I'm 27 and I live in a sleepy-ish beach town right on the Atlantic ocean. The dream.
I weigh 212 pounds, which is an all time high for me. Ouch.
It is a gorgeous day outside and I am stuck indoors sitting upright like a plank because yesterday I threw out my back... again. I never had problems of this nature when I wasn't obese, and enough is enough.
I have never been a tiny little woman (feel my jealousy, shorties), but I thank my mother daily for the genetics I have been blessed with: they allow me to get away with being much much heavier than I look. But this isn't just about looks for me, this is about health. I'm 5'7". 212 is too heavy for me. And I've just been letting myself be delusional about it because "I don't look that fat." That's not a healthy mindset. It's kind of scary how far this could have gone if I hadn't injured myself for the 3rd time in the last year and a half.
Anyway, for the last couple months I've been personal blogging and using MFP just for myself and I honestly just don't find it to be nearly as much fun or motivating as sharing my experiences with a group. I also need to write and share with other people who understand what I'm going through - my wonderful fiance is very very slim and always has been, he actually WANTS to put on some weight. So it probably isn't much of a surprise to any of you that he just doesn't get it.
I'm going to be keeping track of my calories, exercise and water, posting fun healthy recipes, sharing stories, doing some photo-blogging and more so please feel free to keep track of me and introduce yourself! I am really looking forward to being a part of the community, can't wait to get to know everyone. Have already seen a couple of interesting diaries and look forward to reading more! Thanks again ~*
