edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Take a quick second to introduce myself. I am not exactly new to the site, I have been here about a week tracking my food and exercise. I love this site, it has helped me to jump-start my healthier living routine again. I am really trying hard to change my unhealthy die-hard habits! It's been a struggle of ups and lots of downs that is for sure. Here I am though ready to give it another shot. I seem to be my own worst enemy, I like to eat, so I am working on changing what I eat. There are plenty of things out there that taste amazing and I am trying to explore and find them....it doesn't have to be fast food or food full of fat just to taste amazing. I am working on having a healthy relationship with food, which may sound crazy, but my whole life I have abused food in one way or another. Whether it was not eating enough or eating too much, it was and has been completely devastating to my body. So I am here trying to find a happy medium. To learn moderation and to see the consequences of my food choices, my eyes are WIDE open! :noway: I would love support and new friends in this journey, we all know how much support means to be successful. Well anyway I am daughter, a wife, a mother of two sons and I am mainly doing this for myself, so I can be there with my boys and enjoy them as they grow in to men.

    Even tough MFP is great for losing weight, it is also a place where we can relearn how to eat, the portions, etc. Basically it helps us to have a good relationship with food. Keep it up and feel free to add me as a friend!
