Taking the Time

edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
The reason I joined MFP was because a week ago I had a slightly traumatic experience regarding my body image and subsequently went into a 2-3 day spiral of self hatred/disappointment and a whole host of very unpleasant thoughts. At the end of the 2-3 days I decided to stop wallowing and that if it really bothered me THAT much, that it was time for me to actively try and stop allowing the excuses to reign. I have been a member on the site for only a couple of days, but am already slightly addicted. It’s motivating to see the numbers right there in front of you and I really think that I will be able to reach my goal weight in time. I’m 27, married, without children, and there really isn’t any good reason why I can’t take the time to care about body and what I put into it. So hello, I hope to be an active member until I reach my goal weight, or am truly happy with the way my body looks.
