How I got here - My story

Posted on January 9, 2015

Highschool. Horrible Body Image. Assumed lost cause. Ate. Didn't move. Gained (a lot of) weight.

College. School full time, working part time. Eating out 3 meals a day. No time for activity. Gained more weight.

Mid-Twenties. Had my AHHA moment. Decided I was done being miserable. Realized my own roll in my life and happiness. Took steps to make some positive changes. Join Weight Watchers. Lost about 30lbs in 4 months. Dropped the ball. Fell off the wagon. Whatever you want to call it. Yo-yo'ed the same 10lbs for the next two years. Up. Down. Up. Down.

Spring 2014. Finally got my groove back. Joined IG and found the IG Fit Fam! Jumped on the fitness wagon. Started making progress again. Got sick. Gallbladder issues. Surgery. Recovery. Working. Moving. Christmas. Flu. All of the things.

Now. Feeling better. Feeling motivated. Focused. Ready to make this happen.

How did you get here? What's your journey been like?

6 years old. Got sick where I didn't eat for days. After recovering, got my appetite back but ate everything in sight, becoming an obese kid.High school. Regular fitness classes helped, went from obese to overweight.Junior college. Took a class called Fitness. Learned about the theories of weight loss. College. No more fitness classes, dated for the first time but eventually broke up. Ate to cope.After college. Unemployed, depressed, sedentary December 1992. Mom tells me I'm a fat slob (I was 185 lbs.). Went back to my fitness class notes from junior college, starting a diet and exercise plan the next day.1995. Joined a gym full-time, doing aerobics 3 X per week.1996. Added weight training.1997. Worked out twice a day 5 days/week. weight reaches 136 lbs. 2006. Weight is now up to 160 lbs due to very bad relationship. Got out.2013. Conquered my emotional eating, weight down to 140 lbs.From then on, weight has been hovering up and down. Use Dietbet to bring it back down.

That's great that you got a handle on the emotional eating. I'm still working on that one myself. Thanks for sharing!
