hi
i suppose i'll start at the beginning.
i'm 21 years old, ever since i can remember i've always been a little bit on the chubby side. i've battled with my weight for years and have in the past have tried all the extremes. as a young teenager i was bulemic, i've been a yo-yo dieter, i go through months of extreme workouts but nothing ever sticks. and really, i just want to be healthy. i've lost in total around 32lbs over the years, but now i just want to lose weight the healthy way - i don't want to ruin my body.
anyway, my weight controls my life. it's all i think about, every second of every day. i became very apathetic about it, but i've since started a role with the police working on crime analysis - which means i can't get away with wearing frumpy clothes at work anymore.. it's made me determined now to be able to feel good about myself, to be able to wear the clothes i want instead of walking into a meeting wearing a huge jumper or covering my stomach.
basically, my problem is: motivation. i can go for months where i push myself but then i loose it all and put all the weight back on. i live with my sister who is a (UK size) 8 and constantly says 'you don't need to lose weight, you look great the way you are...' - i'm sure all of you have heard that before, especially from people half your size. none of my super skinny friends quite understand and think i'm just being silly, so really, i was just looking for someone who does. i was looking for a buddy, someone i can talk to reguarly, share tips and updates etc.. i know that i can share it generally on the forum - but i was hoping to find someone with the same weight and goal weight as i, so we can work together? i think by dieting with someone else, i'd have more motivation to actually carry on with my regime.
so, my name is katt. i'm 21 years old, 5'10, current weight: 172lbs, goal weight: 136lbs, to lose: 36lbs
any takers?!?
p.s. also, not really sure where to start on the whole weight loss thing, as my previous regimes never seem to work..
oh, and one more thing: i'm the classic 'i'll eat this burger today, i'll eat this chocolate cake now, it doesn't matter what i eat today because i'll start my diet tomorrow' - i need to get out of this habit!! i've been saying this everyday for the past 3 years now
