Hello all!
I've recently become really interested in taking better care of me and my body. I am a bit horrified at how much weight I've gained over years of overeating after being a skinny kid who very often had to be made to eat and who picked at her food. Somehow, my habits have changed over time, and in adulthood, I have found myself acting out some very unhealthy patterns with food.
Anyway, I'm serious about the idea of posting here so I can talk with other folks who are interested in this stuff and can stop talking so much about it with friends who would probably rather talk on mutual topics of interest than hear my latest calorie intake and discuss my ever-so-fascinating metabolism. I've grown a little obsessed, as people sometimes do with a new hobby, and am hoping to come around to more balance with it all. In the meantime, these forums may be an acceptable place to channel some of my excessive need to talk and think about this stuff while getting it on track.
I've been on this site for awhile without posting, actually, and find it an excellent resource.
I look forward to posting more and to getting to know folks.
Thanks!

Welcome to the site. Today was my first "post" after being on the site for a month. My friends to are sick of hearing about how I went for a walk and was able to make it up the hill without wanting someone to bring the car to get me, and stuff like that. So I totally get what you are saying.0

This is a great online tool and you will definitely find great support from people who are engaging on the same mission to feel and look great by doing it the right way: hard work. Welcome to MFP!0

Been in your shoes, and am still to a degree. I know my family is tired of hearing how good I'm doing. I get so excited because I'm doing good!! Mainly because they are either not interested in cleaning up their habits, or, they already eat healthy.
This site has been great, and I'm finally getting the hang of proper eating! I've been on diets before, this is the first time I'm just learning how to eat and not gain weight, but actually lose it!! It is becoming a healthy eating lifestyle and thanks to MFP and friends, I'm finally taking control. Good luck!!! Welcome!! :bigsmile: 0 -

Loved your post! I'm obsessed with being healthy as well, and how many of your friends really want to hear about kale smoothies and raw carrots and the treadmill vs. the elliptical?

I'm obsessed as well! I know my friends and family are sick of hearing me talk exercise and calories (except my mom...she does the same thing, just not on here). I LOVE this site, I love the way I've been feeling since I started, and I love knowing there are people out there just like me 0

I don't know that the obsession ends. My husband and I talk about it with each other and our families all the time.0
