Hi all! I am Christy, 31, from New Orleans. I have been heavy my whole life. My weight has always fluctuated, but I was still considered clinically overweight even during my "skinny" phases. I have always been somewhat active, but not so much anymore. I dislocated my knee over a year ago and gained almost 40 pounds after that.
My relationship with food is complicated. I know how to eat well and lose weight, but I go through periods where I eat whatever I want non-stop. Those are the times I end up with weight jumps. It is slowly sabotaging me in the long run each time, as my goal weight seems further and further away. I'm ready to get a handle on this once and for all. After this, I may consider wls. I am under a doctor's care now, so I feel that may help keep me accountable a bit more.
I want a life where I no longer have to deal with this burden anymore. I want to wear the clothes I like. I just want to feel normal. I stand to lose 90 pounds. Let's do this.
Please feel free to add me if you would like.

There's no quick fix, and accountability is the name of the game for me too. I'm also from NOLA , currently living in Lafayette and it's all about food & drink around here. It's hard, I know. My struggle is your struggle. How real it is.0
