Back on Track (Finally!)

How do I introduce myself? I'm a single twenty-something living in Queens, working in Manhattan. I hate that my weight holds me back from being "all that I can be." I walk around midtown and see these thin, professional women who look so classy in their suits and I feel frumpy. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Four years ago I started a journey to losing weight. I lost about 115 pounds from November 2008 - November 2011. Over the course of the last 7 months, I gained about ...
How do I introduce myself? I'm a single twenty-something living in Queens, working in Manhattan. I hate that my weight holds me back from being "all that I can be." I walk around midtown and see these thin, professional women who look so classy in their suits and I feel frumpy. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Four years ago I started a journey to losing weight. I lost about 115 pounds from November 2008 - November 2011. Over the course of the last 7 months, I gained about 40lbs back.

I ordered Nutrisystem and am following that, but I decided to start using this site again because I prefer SparkPeople and Nutrisystem is a temporary "kick start" to my weight loss and if I'm already in the habit of looking HERE then I think I'll be able to continue when I stop ordering their food.

SparkPoints: 5,173

Fitness Minutes: 641

My Goals:
Get myself to a weight that I am happy with. I used to have a number in my head but I don't want to focus on that because it seems impossible.

I want to be able to shop at 'normal' clothing stores. I want to fit into the seats at the theater. I want to feel confident and attractive when I meet people. I want to dress nicely for work and not look like a slob because of my fat rolls.


My Program:
I'm currently on Nutrisystem. I supplement vegetables and protein. I try to stay away from pasta, bread, etc. But when I do eat it, it is whole wheat. I have to be on Nutrisystem for another month, per the agreement I made. But after that it will be portion control, counting, tracking, etc. Much like I am now.

Personal Information:
Live in Flushing.
Work in Manhattan.
Hang out in L.E.S.

All wrapped up in a hug emoticon
Good things should come your way
With this tiny ladybug." emoticon

"Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds." ~Orison Swett Marden

I think it’s important that we consider the fact that we are still Sparking and working toward our goals as success! We too often forget to congratulate ourselves and others for the small steps forward and tend to dwell on our faltering steps instead.

So, to all my Spark Friends:
emoticon Congratulations!
emoticon Job well done for being here today and for every postive step forward you take!

“Don't exchange what you want the most for what you want right now!”
~ Unknown

Wow! I don’t know about you, but I need to remember and repeat that quote to myself when I’m faced with choices! I tend to choose before thinking and need to become more mindful in all areas of my life. I hope today is going well for you and that you are enjoying your life and the people in it.
