WELCOME Anya... you've definitely found the right place!
Like you, many of us have been on the constant yo-yo of weight gain/loss. I can't even begin to tell you how many fad diets I've tried (the cabbage soup diet, grapefruit diet, B12/HCG shots, not to mention starvation). Yep, I lost the weight quick... but it never failed that I would gain the weight back, plus another 15 pounds every. single. time!
So many daily life situations are centered around food. Oh I've had a bad day, let's go out to eat. Oh I've had a great day, let's go out to eat. I can't tell you how many times I'ld be eating lunch with friends and someone say, "what do y'all wanna do for dinner tonight?" OH MY GOD... my food hasn't even settled yet and we are already talking about what we are gonna eat next.
This time I wanted to try something else. I wanted to change my entire way of thinking & relating to food. Every inch of my body was hurting... so I knew that I had to change my entire lifestyle. Smartier, healthier choices & focusing on ME... that's what I knew had to do!
We've found amazing motivation (and accountablity) here by encouraging one another along on this journey! So welcome.... and good luck to you!
