First of all, I would love any comments that anyone has to offer me, I am willing try anything!
Well first off, I am 23 years old will be turning 24 this month. I work part-time which is part in due because I am also a parttime student and I also have a chronic pain disorder of TMJ. A lot of people don't believe that TMJ is real and dismiss it as being in someone's "head". I used to think that about some other illnesses untill I got the symptoms and began crying myself to sleep every night.
My weight background: I always thought of myself as fat. Well as I look back to my junior high and high school days I don't think that I was fat back then, but now I have packed on the pounds. I think part in which because I hit a major depression which food was my comfort, I also was no longer active in sports. I drove every day to school (20 miles away). My favorite foods were starches such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rice, and it also worked for my Liquid/soft food diet only.
Two weeks ago I weighed myself at 237 and I am only 5;2'5;3, much over the average. I do have a bigger than average bone build, but that is still way too high. I saw a health psychologist and we are working through my "issues" as well as putting my on a diet of 30 carbs.
Now that I am through the first week and a half, my cravings are gone, and it has been a lot easier to resist those "comfort foods" that i once always needed. I have lost 10 pounds in almost 12 days. Now I am starting to exercise a little at a time. I want to lose a lot, I would love you to post how much you lost and how long it took you to lose it. Also, people around me at work and at home watching what they eat also helps me to watch what I eat. A year ago I never thought that I would be on a low carb diet since carbs is all I used to eat.
Please respond and feel free to email or add me to your messenger. If you want, plz send me some before and after pics, for some inspiration...I hope I feel at home here.
