Hey there!
So My name is Cat, I'm a 24 year old Emergency Veterinary Technician originally from New York but I moved to South Carolina Last year. I have been a yo-yo basically my whole life and I'm tired of the cycle. I work really hard get really thin feel great then I eat and watch the number creep up then I get depressed until I find motivation once again and the cycle repeats. Since I moved to South Carolina I've gained almost 40lbs. That's a crazy amount of weight in that period of time not to mention I'm only 4'9. I maintained a healthy weight for 2 years but after moving and knowing no one here except my partner who is a skinny mini that eats what ever she wants and never moves more than necessary, I needless to say fell of the wagon. I'm tired of doing this to myself. I need to learn how to change permanently and to hold my own even without the support from friends and family that I'm use to. I work 60 - 70 hour weeks and my sleep pattern is never consistent. I'm hoping that getting involved on here will help me find answers and support. So Hi My name is Cat and I'm ready for a life style change!

Awe we're kidding. Seriously, don't take it personal.. we're all bunch of crazies here.
Come to think of it .. you do have "sheart" in your name.0 -

Maybe if I understood the joke0 -
No one is making fun of you hon. It just so happens that your name is very relevant to something that happened on here yesterday. And it's a cool name BTW.I came here for support and people are making fun of my name?
Please don't ragequit.0 -

Yeah, we are an eclectic mix of perverts and jerks (and many of us fall into both categories). You will learn to love us. Or hate us. Either way, have fun here!0
-
Hey Cat!:). Welcome. You have come to the right place.
(Yesterday every thread had the word cat in it because it was April 1st and because many of us like cat pictures)0 -
That's a-okay!! We've all been there!0

My brain read the title as I'm "A" Cat and I got all excited b/c I joke about being my cat on here (hence my cat's pic for my Avi).
Welcome, Cat!0 -
Aww thanks guys
I like crazie
I'm really hoping to make some friends moving away from my friends and family has been rough Its pretty ironic that I'm en ER vet tech named Cat when I tell cat owners my name they always make a remark about how fitting it is 0 -
My brain read the title as I'm "A" Cat
Mine too...I was slightly confused. lol
But WELCOME!!! I've only been here for a few weeks but I find that people are very supportive when they aren't teasing you about your name. :P
Good luck!!!!0 -
You CAN do it!!!0

Welcome, Cat!
I thought it said "I am a cat" too and I came here to bench press her. But, since she's not a real cat, I guess it's not going to happen... :brokenheart:0 -
I was wondering what the heck was up with all the cat stuff yesterday.....makes sense now.
Welcome, this is a great site for support and entertainment.0 -
I definitely read it as "I'm a Cat" as well...
But welcome to the site! I've been here almost a month, and found it to be a good place for support and helping keep track of everything.
Feel free to add me, and good luck on your journey!0 -
Welcome Cat!!0
-
I totally read it as I'm A Cat too!
April Fools AKA Cat's day was fun.
Welcome!0 -
I read "I'm A Cat" too lol
I guess we were all primed from the cat threads yesterday. They were pretty funny!
Anyway, welcome human-Cat. What made you move from NY to SC? It seems drastic.0 -
I thought it said, "I'm a Cat." Doh.
edited to reflect now read previous responses and don't feel so dumb anymore.0 -
I'm a vet tech too. Welcome!
And it is true that yesterday was in fact, cat day. It was awesome.
ETA: I also read this as "I'm a cat"! I only realized it didn't say that by reading the above posts.0 -
What made you move from NY to SC? It seems drastic.
It is a drastic change lol um to be honest it was work. I worked at an emergency hospital on long island but the economy got so bad that they cut everyones hours and took most of our perks such as holiday pay and overtime. It wasnt enough to live off of anymore
My best friend moved to Florida a few years ago So my partner and went to visit South Carolina on a whim and after curiously looking at houses for rent, we moved. I got a job 3 days later making the same money at an emergency hospital here and my rent is way less lol. It was a great move financially but its been hard making new friends. I have the people from my job but I can be a bit shy so I havent really established friendships outside of work lol. I was 30lbs away from my goal weight when I moved but now i've gained lots of weight so my self esteem hasnt exactly been the best lol Any way that's why we moved 0
