Need to get back into shape

tpelaez

I'm 22 and constantly harassed by my parents about my weight problems; I want to get them to shut up every time I come back to visit. Want to lose about 20 pounds by the time school starts up again. I've had a rough year and my parents don't understand how I could've gained so much weight in such a short period of time, but they also don't understand things like depression and PTSD. Don't usually make random internet friends but I'm thinking that it'd be nice to talk to other 20-something females in the same boat as me. The girls at my school have a lot of eating disorders, there's an unnaturally high rate here according to health services. I want to be able to speak to people who can strike a healthy balance between eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's in front of the tv and vomiting up celery with a no-carb peanut butter substitute. My goal is to run in a 5K in September without dying. Wish me luck.

I'm not in exactly the same situation as you (my 'rents don't hound me about my weight), but I'm getting ready to turn 20 in July and am working towards losing anywhere from 30 to 40 pounds. If you'd like some support, don't hesitate to friend me Best of luck with your goal!
