I am a 27 year old female, who decided May 31 I have had enough. I'm tired of spending so much time thinking about food, eating food, craving food. I want to spend my time enjoying life as a thin, energetic woman, instead of the overweight woman I've become. I refuse to become another statistic, I will lose the weight and exercise and do what ever else I need to do!

I am a 27 year old female, who decided May 31 I have had enough. I'm tired of spending so much time thinking about food, eating food, craving food. I want to spend my time enjoying life as a thin, energetic woman, instead of the overweight woman I've become. I refuse to become another statistic, I will lose the weight and exercise and do what ever else I need to do!

It occured to me that while that's my motivation, it's not the reason(s) I became overweight. I was not a big child, I was skinny as a rail, up until about age 14 and then I gradually gained weight and there were several reasons for that. My mother had let say strange ideas about food, no snacking before dinner, never mind that lunch was at 11 and dinner wouldn't be until 8. Junk food was bad, unless you were an adult, it created an environment where and I'm not alone in this my sisters also, did this, snuck food and when I hit puberty I also got a job and access to money and instead of crying my eyes out because of the kids at school I was able to turn to food. When I finally realized what I was doing it was a vicious circle, I now loved food.

But I am so over food, I am not going to allow it to control my life any longer. I am going to stop being ashamed of my body, pretending that I don't care what people say, and lose the weight so that I can have the life I deserve!
