in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! I'm new to MFP and I'm reaching out for support and new friends. Since all of the cool kids have already done an intro I figured I'd better get around to it myself ;). A little about me I'm a 32 yr old mommy of 5. I've struggled my whole life with my weight. Actually lost 110 lbs before but it found me a few years later. I guess it missed me idk j/k. Over the last five years my weight has fluctuated. I'd lose 10 lbs here, 30 lbs there and quit eating healthy and gained it all back. This time things have got to be different. My health has taken a toll and well I'm just plain tired of being fat. For once I'd like feel like I fit in when taking my kids to school events, etc. Heck even to the bus stop and not think " geez, I'm the only fat mom out here, everyone else is in shape." Offline I'm very much a loner and don't have a lot of support as everyone I know is thin or in great shape. And well, some I cannot keep up with their workouts yet. Gotta do this at my own pace and I will get there :).
