College-Aged Folk

I've recently attained my fitness goals right before going to college. I was probably the healthiest in my life. I felt really confident in myself at that time and had a lot of fun with outfits, makeup, and even asserting myself socially.

I went to school then gained a solid 15 pounds, which wouldn't be a big deal, but I feel like it is affecting my workout performance as well as my mood. When I look in the mirror, I'm not really happy with what I see anymore and its kind of starting to weigh on me. Anyways, I'm back home and away from buffet dining hall lines and ready to work for it.

I'm looking for others that can possibly relate... Maybe we can communicate and inspire each other? It's been pretty lonely lately.

Hey! I am in a similar boat as you. Before I went to college, I was in the best shape of my life and absolutely thriving. Once I went away, I found out what beer and partying was. Mental health was strongly discussed but no one ever encourage physical health. After countless long nights of studying, I finally graduated and gained 50 pounds 😩! I now have a career, I’m newly married to my college sweetheart, and I am starting to study for my MBA. Health and fitness has always been a huge part of my life but the healthy life can be lonely. It’s easier to say yes to Friday nights out with friends than a late night workout after working 50 hours that week. Nice to meet you!
