Getting Started...Again...

in Introduce Yourself
ETA: P.S. at the bottom

The point of this post is that I really need new friends/motivators.

I could probably relate to most people on MFP in some way or the other. I have started, stopped, and started MFP several times (this is the 4th (!!!!). I have always struggled with body issues, both in my confidence and with my actual weight. I am recently married and let our fun adventures and the excitement of being newlyweds get in the way of having a healthy lifestyle. My clothes don't fit the way I want them to, or they don't fit at all.

But I want to change all these things, and I am going to change all these things. Because I don't want to be a "quitter", because I can't stand being judged by my own family, because I want to be the best version of myself for my husband and our future children. But most of all, because I love myself - this is the only body I have been given, and I owe it to myself to take care of it.

If you are new on here, re-starting your program, or have been on here a while, add me. Everyone needs friends and motivators! I promise to be a cheerleader for you on your journey of health. :)

P.S. I am totally an open book! My diary is open, I have a kik if you want to chat, and I will be honest with all my friends about my personal journey!

    I never believed people in high school when they would say that my eating habits would catch up with me. Now I have gained 10 pounds and need to fit back into my clothes!! :) I also need to form better eating habits so I hope this site helps. :)

    feel free to add me. I have been battling this weight loss journey on and off since I was 15 so I understand the struggles of losing and gaining and working at keeping it off. I keep my food diary public and I'm pretty active on here. :smile:

    Hello, I too am restarting as of today for the 3rd time. I could blame it on a number of things, work...stress.... blah... blah... But honestly I feel like they are all excuses for me. I truly want to lose this weight and feel good about myself again. But I seem to be in a continuous circle. :) anyway, enough about me, I really hope it works out this time for everyone... I am currently 60 lbs over weight according to my height and age... So... let the games begin...
