Being fat is becoming inconvenient. Be my friend.

in Introduce Yourself
So I'm back here again. I've never used MFP with friends and I think that's what is going to help me here. I want to follow people's progress, and complain about my own :)

Being fat is inconvenient. I'm getting heartburn, some chaffing, and sweat embarrassingly easy.

I'm not ashamed of being fat. I'm in the Midwest, and compared to most my neighbors I'd be considered "healthy". However that's not the case. I'm skinnier than most my friends and family, not that it matters but just driving the fact home that trying to lose weight for me isn't for just looks and really not even health.

My clothes not fitting anymore is very annoying. Having to rebuild a wardrobe, isn't just enough of a pain, but the other things to consider. Will this show the sweat? Well this pinch my armpits? Does it cover the side rolls? Is it thick enough to not show my nipples? (I'm bra free). How about does it ride up when I bend over?

My posture is a wreck, and for being 37 years old...the hunch ain't cute.

I've asked myself, when is it enough to start caring. And now it's enough, I'm over it. What am I going to do? Who the hell knows, but this is a start.

So please, be my friend and read my upcoming updates and entertain me with yours.

    Midwesterner here too, not the easiest region to lose weight in. I definitely felt when I got bigger it was like I joined a club of sorts, feel free to add!

    Omg Matt....EXACTLY....100% felt like I had joined the club once I got up on the weight. Was part of weight centered remarks and conversations within the herd haha

    Welcome back. I have found the friendship part of this whole system very helpful this time around. It helps to have like minded people in your corner.
