Lady Gamer/geek with a lot to lose.

edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm new to MFP and looking for like-minded friends for motivation and conversation.

I'm a journalist, gamer, geek, and mom.

Things I like: Blizzard games, physics, astronomy, Buddhism,
positive parenting, AP, feminism (there goes
that word again), cooking vegetarian (most of the time) baking!

Move on it you're into self-hate with your weight loss/health efforts. I've
hated myself enough in the past to be surrounded by that again. =]

I'm into positive body image. I want to lose weight
because I'm starting to notice being overweight is catching up to me:
I have a cracking left knee! I've never had that before. I'm way too young for that.

I really enjoy working out and being active. I'm looking forward to how much more
fun hiking, biking, and swimming will be once the weight is off.

Welcome!

    Feel free to add me. I'm a bit of a gamer, but I've sworn off Blizzard (Diablo 3 ::cries::) because of their sheer greediness. I have prepurchased Guild Wars 2 and the Beta weekend was AWESOME! I'm also a bit of a geek. :/ I like politics, literature, anthropology, and old sci-fi novels. Mom/wife/manager/Girl Scout Leader.
