Skinny Minny

sniffles

Hi.

How important are AV's?
I've done this before. This weight loss thing. I was a fat kid, had an undiagnosed stomach issue (was allergic to basically everything you can imagine) that made my stomach hurt. I associated the pain with hunger so I ate to try and stop it. It didn't work (little did I know food was the actual cause OF the pain). I was fat. In my late teens we figured out why I was in so much stomach pain and I lost 100 lbs in a little over a year. Developed some different health issues (hypothyroidism on top of ulcers) and gained 80 back. Am now recovering and on the road to losing again.

I have a pretty ****e immune system, a really unhealthy body and am basically a complete mess.

I know this isn't going to happen overnight but I'm eager to be healthy again.

Even more than that I'm looking forward to once again being a 'skinny minny' (just a nickname people called me at my lowest weight).

So my motivation is partly superficial (I want to look good) and partly healthy (I want to feel good inside and out).

Anyway.
