edited November 8 in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Lydia. I’m 32, single and a professional costume designer. I am an avid gamer, book reader, film connoisseur, amateur historian, art lover and crazy cat lady.

I am also fat.

Not “I need to lose a few pounds” fat but more “I’m going to die in a few years because I eat too many damn Cheetos” fat. I’ve always been overweight but the fat has been slowly creeping on me every year and now I am about 80 pounds overweight. I spent my whole twenties being the chubby one and I refuse to spend my thirties that way.

I want to walk into a store in the mall and buy something that doesn’t have a Lane Bryant tag in it.

I want to not be the chubbiest person in the room.

I want to feel better about myself.

I want to be healthy.

My starting weight was 223.4 pounds and I've lost 15 pounds so far. My goal is to lose 80 pounds and have the speed and strength to outrun the zombies come apocalypse day.

    Love your humor! :) We can get past this being fat nonsense! Feel free to add me :) I am also an avid gamer and amateur historian :) I am also, sadly, a Lane Bryant shopper. I really want to get out of that store! :P

    Me, too! I've been trapped in that store for over 10 years now! I really want to go into the stores next to it instead, like The Limited or Charlotte Russe. Soon! :)

    Thanks! I find I pay more attention to what I'm eating if I'm writing it all down. I also find I make better choices. :)
