Hello!.... Again....

Hi all!

I have tried to lose weight and I never stuck with it. I have recently reached out to a good friend of mine who is a personal trainer and he has offered to help me. So this time I will have someone to hold me accountable. I'm hoping that will help my journey.

So a little history is in order I suppose so here it is,

I have been fat my whole life. I remember being 11 years old and weighing 180 pounds. Through my teenage years and a little bit of my adult life I stayed steady at about 260 pounds. Not great by any means but I was happy and confidant.

I have always worked in retail. On your feet all day and running back and fourth through the store. Lifting heavy boxes etc.. Last year in March I had the opportunity to start a desk job which would give me more money, and guaranteed 40 hours a week. If those weren't good enough perks, I was also offered a RRSP plan and full benefits. I took the job. The only negative impact the job has had on me is my weight. I have gained 50 pounds in less than a year and my day to day activities are getting more and more difficult. I can't even shave my legs without having to curl up into a ball. My belly is always in the way. Worst of all I have lost a lot of my confidence.
I have a very supportive boyfriend who loves me just the way I am, but I don't love myself the way I used to. The way that I should...

So here I am! I will be 24 years old in May, and I weigh a whopping 310 pounds. Yay me. I'm just looking to make some friends who are going through or have gone through similar situations. I will probably not be logging my calories just yet, but I will be updating my profile with my weight as I go. My first day at the gym is this Thursday. Wish me luck!!!
