I'm 31 from TX and trying this thing with a much better attitude then ever before.
About a year or two ago I reached the point of not being comfortable in my own skin.. suddenly realized I was over 200 and it was unreal to me that I had let myself get there.. I grew up being a dancer (ballet) and did sports and was fit.. hurt my knee at the end of high school that took me out of both sports and dance mostly, but never had weight gain til the end of my 20s when I just didn't seem to be doing anything but working and eating.. hmm wonder how i gained weight?? lol!
I also realize I have real image issues b/c I remember thinking years ago when I was 140 and wore a 6 I was fat.. and now I just want to hide. I no longer enjoy really going out with friends and doing things b/c I'm too self conscious.. and I realize I am not huge.. I'm not bad off.. I just need to get into gear and fix me, but I really have to fight myself to get myself out now. Which is not normal for me. So here I am again attempting to take my life back and find my happiness.
