in Introduce Yourself
H i there, I am not new to My Fitness Pal but have never really engaged in the community side of it before. I wonder if this is where I've been going wrong? I've been dieting on and off for the last 20 years. Clearly I've been doing it wrong as I've gained 40kg and a problem with binge eating! In that time I have also raised 3 children, learnt to drive and become a qualified District Nurse. My youngest child is 17 and I'm starting to look to the future more and frankly I don't like what I'm seeing!
I'm fairly active, I enjoy walking and gardening but would definitely benefit from some strength training. Ultimately, my goals are to build a healthy relationship with food to get my weight and binge eating under control and to maintain a strong, healthy body well into my old age.
I'm hoping to find like minded people who will check in regularly to keep me accountable and motivated on my journey.

    Hello Alycia. The part where we have gone wrong was not continuing a healthy life style once the weight was lost. I to have decided to be more active in the community as a way to be mindful of the promise to myself that I am in this for life. Feel free to join my community. I'll be happy to have a new friend.

    You’ve raised a family, learned to drive and went into higher education to become a nurse and make a better life for your family and you… I’d say you’ve done great! Well done, you should be proud!! ☺️.
    it’s funny how we always place our health last in our lists of priorities… then one day you wake up and realise that we’re not made of rubber & magic anymore - haha.
    I’m similar to you, I’m quickly approaching that age were men die in my family, so I’ve decided that if my time is soon… I’m going to spend an eternity in the afterlife bloody Hench!! 🤣🤣
