Just the Beginning!!

Awright1989

Hey everyone! I am new to mfp, but I am really excited that I just joined. My name is Abbey and am 21 years old. I came to mfp because I have been overweight my entire life and now that I have reached my heaviest, I just don't want to continue getting deeper into my bad habits and I want to be and feel young. Im only 21 and I hate shopping, or anything else all girls my age enjoy. I hate the feeling of seeing something cute on the rack and they either don't have it in my size or it looks all wrong on my body.I have been a yo yo dieter since middle school. Two years ago I lost 50 lbs and was looking and feeling great. But then I met my boyfriend, who fitness comes easy to and doesn't gain like I do. I got comfortable and started eating the same junk he did and the weight just crept back on and then some. He's really supportive of whatever I want to do and always tells me Im beautiful no matter what, but I hate the way I look. I've never seen what I look like at a healthy weight and I really want to know my body and my face without the distortion my weight causes. I have been looking and reading so many success stories and the before and after pictures look like two different people. I just really want to feel and look healthy. I want to be happy with my body and not self- conscious. I know that this will be a journey and will not happen overnight, and I know I need all the motivation I can, but I will reach my goal by taking it one day at a time. Thanks for reading, add me as a friend if you'd like

Right there with you! I have gained and lost weight for years. I thought 2 years ago was it but then life happened. Now I am changing careers and ready to be healthy again! We can help and support each other!

Every journey starts with just one step. It can seem daunting at the start but you will get where you want to be. Welcome to MFP!!!
