Ready to shed the big girl label

indahaurora88

I've struggled with being overweight and obese most of my life. For years, I embraced being the big girl and settled on the fact that I would always identify as one.
I have no excuses except that I love to eat and my self control has flown out the window and been awol for longer than I'd like to admit.
I know I am capable of losing weight and keeping it off. I lost a ton of weight in college and kept it off for 5 years. Without going into details, I was overseas and experienced immense trauma. When I returned I ate my feelings until I became a whole new level of unhealthy.
Today I went on the scale for the first time in a year and what I saw wasn't pretty. If I continue down this path, I know I'm in for a lot of trouble. Trouble that could have been prevented by making healthy choices and exercising.
I have a huge amount of weight I need to lose, but more importantly I have a whole lifestyle change ahead of me. I want to be healthy. I want buy clothes that aren't from special stores for plus sized women. I want to be the healthiest version of me that I can be.
That's where all you amazing people come in.
I need a lot of support and accountability. Especially when it comes to exercise.
I would love to hear from you and also befriend you.
Have a good night.
