| Hi Everybody! I'm new :)
Hi everyone!
My name is Angela, but Ange or Angie is fine.  I'll be 18 in December, and I joined this forum because I've had enough of being fat.
Basically, over the past three years, I've gained about 80 pounds, and ... that's REALLY bad. I'm mainly struggling with finding the motivation to get in shape and eat better. I don't know WHY I can't do it, I just .. don't. Laziness, I assume.
Well, I'm looking to change that! I'm also entering College in September so that's a brand new chapter and I want to start it by maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks a lot, Anthony! I'll definitely consider adding you to AIM
I'm kinda happy that someone knows how I feel with this! It's hard when there aren't many people to talk to.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. | Hi Angela...I just turned 49 this August and take it from me, doing something permanent about your weight struggles when you are 18 is a far cry from trying to do it when you are my age! My doctor told me when I was 20 to do something about my weight because after I turned 25, it would get harder and harder. Well, needless to say, I didn't listen very well! And its not that I didn't try, or have any success, but I seemed to find my way back to my old overweight self! Only now, at my age, there's less elasticity to the skin and no amount of weight loss will ever give me the body of my dreams! And I have regrets that I didn't take control sooner. Not that I haven't tryied..but I felt, and feel, just like you...I want to lose weight, I know the logic behind losing weight, so then why am I not losing weight??? Like you say, "lazy"??? I don't know what it is. I posted earlier tonight that I truly believe that chronically overweight people have a brain disorder...something that's just not firing correctly when it comes to being able to just say no to food, or quantities of food, that's just no good for us. I don't believe for one minute what skinny people think about overweight people....that if we just had more willpower! If I hear one more person say "just don't eat it", I think I'll scream. It doesn't seem to matter what age or how much weight we need to lose, we all seem to be in the same boat. I'm cheering for you because I know that at your age you have so much to gain, and so much to lose, by not conquering your weight woes now (sorry, no pun intended with the "gain/lose" analogy!). I'm adding you to my buddy list...that is, if you don't mind communicating with a "fossil" (that's what one of my younger co-workers calls me...in jest, of course!). But I'm a young 49...so don't let that scare you away. If I can help you in any way, I'm more than willing. I don't have all the answers, but I know what regret feels like and I hope you don't end up at my age with it! I still have hope for me, though, so I'm not destitute yet! I look forward to reading more. | |
