Hi all I just joined last night after searching for an hour trying to find a forum like this.
Alright I'm not quite sure where to start. My name is Sara, I'm 22 from Midland, Michigan. I'm 5'4 and while I'm not insanely overweight I have about 50-75lbs I'd like to lose. My biggest issues are my stomach and my thighs and my arm flab..ugh I hate it! One of the biggest reasons I want to try and get back in the swing of losing weight is because I feel like such a cow when I go to the doctor and the scale just keeps going up and up and up. And I really hate how they start it on 150 and the think goes THUNK and its embarassing in front of people and I always lie about my weight no one knows what I truely weigh because it embarassess me, that and a couple days ago my best friend filled out a survey and a question was "is your best friend thinner than you" and she put no, which really hurt because we are both pretty close in size and shes always talking about how she looks better etc...
A couple years ago I used to be pretty concious on tryin to lose weight I went to the gym and worked out with friends and then tragedy struck and my best friend was killed in a car accident so I didn't give a crap anymore and I had locked myself in my room for a week and stopped eating and when I did start eating again I didn't care because I just wallowed in the fact of tryin to come to terms with it and how it was unfair.
Then as of late I lost my job the 1st of July and I've been pretty upset and depressed about it so I figured maybe it's time to take the extra time I have and try to start losing some weight.
I figured I'd start with riding my bike and I have a pool so I can swim laps during the day. I'd like to be able to go to the gym and use the tredmills and elyptical walkers etc but not having a job means no money for that.
Anyways....here is my dilemma. The whole eating healthy thing. I am a very very picky eater, I skip breakfast and sometimes lunch. I don't like fish, raw vegetables, not a fan of salad, I'll eat corn, potatoes, carrots if they are cooked, asparagas, mushrooms, on occasion green beans...so I'm having a hard time finding stuff thats going to be healthy to eat that I'm going to enjoy eating...so I'd really appreciate any help I can get from anyone because I usually think I'm gonna lose weight and a week later I give up because I have no motivation and I get tired of eating the same thing all the time....
I wanna also add in I'm really active in the car community and have 2 myself one on the way to becomming a show car and I wanna be that hot little sexy girl next to the nice car...not just another fat girl with a nice car...that and I have a wicked high heel obsession and with being overweight after like 2hrs they start to hurt my back
Well I think this is def. long enough so I look forward to meeting everyone and getting advice on healthy eating, healthy snacks, meals and even some exercise tips.
