I tried to put this on my Community Profile, but for some reason it didn't work. So here it is..
Hi, I am new to this forum thing, so forgive me for my naivety. I am a girl, 20 years old, tall, brown-ish hair and here for support. Unsure of what to write in this 'About Me' section, so I will just dive right in there.
I am currently a student in university, going into my third year and studying science. I am at my heaviest weight I have ever been and I am sick of it. I don't even know how heavy I am because I am too scared to step on a scale. I will post my start weight very soon though, because I can't live in denial forever. I have recently put on a lot of weight due to stress at home and when I was at school and I just ready for a change. I have been living at home all summer and that has made it impossible to try and get fit and healthy. My family are all overweight, but don't really care, which makes it hard for me to get support and motivation. So, I had an idea the other day to google weight loss support forums and this was the first website that appeared. I have been reading threads over the past few days, nervous as to whether or not I should join. But I really really need support from someone, anyone, so I decided that I would join. I have a wonderful boyfriend of almost 3 and a half years and he tells me I am not fat or overweight and loves me the way I am. But I don't love myself the way I am, so sometimes it is hard for me to understand how he ever could.
So with no support from family, a boyfriend who doesn't want me to change and friends who tell me I am fine the way I am, I need to turn to another support system when it comes to weight loss, and I really hope this can be it! I am a very picky eater and hate vegetables, which is going to make this weight loss/healthy life makeover very hard for me. But, going back to school allows me to FINALLY be able to cook my own meals and take advantage of our free gym membership with tuition. Also, I have decided this year, I am going to be more willing to try new foods and things. So, if anyone has recipes for slightly picky vegetables eaters like me, please let me know! I don't know what else to say about myself.. I guess, I have the motivation for weight loss and the means to eat healthy, I just don't have a large support system, so I hope someone will be that for me. Thanks for listening.
And PS. The username, HuskyGirl, its because my school mascot is a husky..I am not trying to put myself down right off the get-go, I want to be more positive than that!
Looking forward to this!
