Hey Y’all NEW HERE

Hey everyone. I’m Tiffany. I’m a college student in Maine and as of today I am new here on the site.  After I graduated HS I lost a significant amount of weight and was so proud of myself… only to gain it all back and then some after I broke off my engagement 2 years ago. Since then it seems like I’ve tried everything and haven’t been able to hold on to any results other than just get more and more frustrated. You know it seems the more I try to lose and it doesn’t work the less I find myself motivated to try again.

After returning to my apartment from a trip home (and seeing my mom eating out of boredom as usual) I decided it was time to try again and maybe something new would help. I feel horrible thinking about my mother as what I desperately DO NOT want to end up like but I can’t seem to stop mentally bashing her habits because I’m so afraid that some day that will be me, not to mention that lately that “some day” feels sooner than ever. Any responses would be amazing… I just think that maybe some support might help since I don’t get that at home with mom’s bad habits staring me in the face and breaking my willpower each time I visit.

    Tiffany, WELCOME! I know how difficult it is to change things…speaking from experience…It may help to concentrate on one thing at a time if you are not going to do a specific diet. Perhaps adding some fruits and veggies to your diet.

    Welcome to BuddySlim Tiffany!! The support and motivation here is amazing and I think you’ll find just the thing you need to get started on your weight loss program.

    Maybe once you get started eating healthier, your mom will notice the change and she’ll join you in your efforts. We don’t have to become our mothers and maybe she needs some motivation to get up and get moving too.

    Whatever program you decide to use, keep this in mind: make healthier food choices, measure your portions so you don’t overdo it, drink tons of water and get some kind of activity into your life each and every day. Those things will get you started and help you become a healthier you!!

    You deserve this, so go after it!!

    Take care!
