36 years old, single, no children, always battled my weight

PrincessBelladonna

Hi my name is BarbaraAnne! I am 36 years old, college educated and like many, currently unemployed. I moved from New York City to Florida last year to get back on my feet (moved back in with my amazing mother). Talk about a lifestyle change. I have always battled my weight, being at least 70lbs overweight. What can i say...I love to eat and hate to work out. I actually went to a nutritionist once who told me I was having issues losing weight cause I didn't eat or move enough. Well that's when I lived in New York and had to WALK everywhere (even if just to the subway). Now I live in Florida in the middle of nowhere and have to drive everywhere. I am trying to keep myself motivated by getting on the treadmill in our house at least 3 times a week. Instead of saying i'm doing it to lose weight, I always remind myself how great I feel AFTER i do it cause of the endorphins. I also found some great free zumba workouts on youtube i am going to start doing. While the weather is nice, I am also going to try to walk outside (Believe it or not, once April hits down here it's just TOO hot to go outside unless you are able to get up at 5am...which I am trying to make myself do). I was brought here to this site by my amazing friend Roni and I am excited her and I can motivate each other. I am also looking for others to be friends with here. I don't care where you live!! I want this time to be different. I don't want to be dead at 50 of a heart attack like my father.
