A short version of my story.

I don't think I have EVER felt comfortable with myself. I've struggled through the years with being bigger than all of my friends and fmaily. I have four sisters and two brothers. I am the only one that has had a weight problem. I have problems fitting into jeans and I have problems finding the right top to fit my chest. About two years ago, I met up with the wrong people. I had dropped out of school in 6th grade and after the years, I was so lonely that I really needed to find friends. I started using Myspace. Well, I met a guy on there who completely changed my life. I started smoking weed with him alot. That became an everyday thing. It was the only thing I'd spend money on. I could care less about anything else. I just wanted to be high all the time. And, when I was high... I would eat...and eat...and EAT so much. And, I got to be so lazy that I would just lay in bed and sleep all day. Well, It got to the point where I was sick. I had pains in my back and neck. I had a fever every night. I was so depressed and always upset unless I was smoking. And thats when I hit rock bottom. I do believe it is the safest "drug" out there and if you are going to get caught up in anything at all, let it be marijuana and nothing heavier. But, this just wasn't good for me. It became the only good thing in my life. I didn't care about anything else.
I finally decided that it wasn't what I wanted to do anymore. I want to be attractive. I want to be healthy. I want to be confident. And, I want to be myself. I will tell you that I am going to do it occasionally but I will never get sucked back into the way I was. I feel so much better already after 2 months of excersizing and being without.
I just want to ask of everyone on here. Please support me and befriend me. Its really all I need right now. And all of you will have my support right back. Thank you.
-Juliana

Re: A short version of my story.

Welcome to the site! The munchies are a killer! Been there done that, although thankfully I was working out 6 days a week at the time I was smoking so it didn't affect me too bad. It's all about self control with it though, and it seems now you've gotten control again. Looks like you're on the right track! What changes have you made besides exercise?

I've been watching what I eat alot more. I was obsessed with pasta for a while. I ate alot of Fetticuine Alredo. Haha
I also try to tell myself that I'm worthy of being confident and feeling good and looking good. I try not to let people get me down as much, also.
Just little things I've been doing have helped so far and I can't wait to make bigger changes. I'm really hoping I can stay on track though. Its easy for things to slip out of my concentration.
Do you still smoke? You don't have to answer that if you don't want.

Re: A short version of my story.

Hi JR
You go girl let the haters hate on they're everywhere. It's really nice when their husbands or BF start to look at you like a tasty treat. I'm in this for the long haul and some people said " yeah you lost it but can you keep it off " I always tell them I lost it, I don't want to find it but I'm sure you know where it is " lol It's a struggle everyday we all have the same problem. Good luck
Jimmy

Maybe once a month nowadays :smoke: . Used to be multiple times a day in school years ago, but I've since moved on.
