in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys!

I am not new to MyFitnessPal. In fact, I have been using this app for than a 2 years now. I was quite successful with it.

Last year, I got to my dream weight and loved how i looked and felt! Unfortunately, I injured tore two of my lumbar discs while doing a weighted deadlift a month before my first amateur fitness competition. Last year my weight was 117lbs and now i am a whopping 160lbs! i have been deeply depressed ever since my injury. I was so disheartened and discouraged to the point where i just gave up on this dream. It felt like something was always against me...I used to deal with stress by running but ever since my injury the only way i knew how to deal with it was through food. The first few months of my injury I did PT but it was so difficult for me to do any normal activities...:( I was SO VERY MAD at myself!!! to the point where i could not look myself in the mirror.

I am looking for people who will help me motivate myself, to encourage me and support me in this very tiring yet WORTHWHILE journey.

    I am sorry that you had to go through a rough patch in life. It is the nature of the beast: we all have to endure hardships at some point. Are they fun? Never! But they come to test our mettle. They come to show us just what we are made of and where we need to grow! Instead of looking at the injury as a bad thing, draw your life's lesson from it. See just what area you need to develop strength in. Trouble has a way of giving us a very real snapshot of our character. Now you have been armed with information about yourself. Now you can get to WORK! 2014 is huffing and puffing at your neck! It's time to step up and become the person you were made to be! I'm challenging you to snatch 2014 by the neck and make it your best year EVER!

    As you can see, I get worked up fairly easily! I'm here to help you get through this next phase of your life. This road we are on NEEDS to be one that is traveled together. So count me among the number of your biggest cheerleaders!

    Happy New Year!
    -Nathan
