Today I begin my journey to a healthier and more disciplined lifestyle and mindset.
I have been eating indiscriminately and not exercising for some time now. Depression and daily negligence have played a predominant role in my weight gain.
I hope that in setting realistic goals for myself, and working everyday to meet those goals, I can pull myself out of this funk. The community here seems supportive and it might make it easier for me to think more positively. I wonder if this site will truly make a difference in my motivation to meet my long-term goals.
I look forward to hearing from fellow participants in these challenges. As of now, my boyfriend is the only person I can talk to about my goals, and it can be frustrating talking only to a perpetually-skinny person about diet and exercise.
