Crazy teacher/ student/ researcher

CatarinaF

Hi, guys!

I'm a crazy teacher/ student/ researcher, and my life's pretty hectic... but I love it!
As it turns out, I don't actually have a lot of 'me' time... but I think I should.
I'm trying to lose 20 kg (45+ lbs), and I've already lost 20 kg... but it actually took me 9 years.
Yes, I know, it's a lot of time, but it's not like I don't try hard. I do, honestly.
So, there you go... I love what I do, and I only wish people wouldn't look at me as if I were some retard just because I'm overweight.
I count on you guys to help me out here, and I'll promise I'll be here for you too!

Big kiss!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I know how you feel, just because a person maybe on the chunky side doesn't mean they don't have a brain!!!:grumble:

Welcome to the site. :drinker:

Unfortunately, we can't control what other people do or say...

And we as a people are motivated by pain/pleasure... We like that which brings us pleasure and dislike that which brings us pain...

Unfortunately, exercise and eating right require discipline, which can be painful to master at the beginning. But guess what? YOU CAN DO THIS! You can do ANYTHING you want!

We're here for you! This site is great! I've also lost a lot of weight and it wasn't easy. I slipped up on a weekly basis and fell into what I call "funks" but I made friends with others who had already lost weight and they kept me accountable and now I'm LOVING the new me and the better eating choices I make. Plus, it's fun to shop in size 10 and not 18! :0)

If you have a facebook account, let me know! I have a bunch of friends on there and we're all on the same train! Losing weight and keeping each other accountable.


Good luck to you! I'm here if you want to talk!
