caitlinerinm Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've never been comfortable with the way that I look. But uncomfortable wasn't enough to make me want to change it. So now, I absolutely can not stand being the way that I am, and it has started a new obsession within me. And that's getting fit. I started Crossfit recently and I've been working on converting my diet to all Paleo. Unfortunately, I'm not in my apartment for the time being as I'm taking care of my cousins kids for the month, and they eat EVERYTHING I'm staying away from. It's been really hard to stay away from all the other crap, but I'm getting there When I'm not doing school work I'm online looking up anything and everything Crossfit related. Like I said, obsessed. Currently I'm about 5'7" and weigh 190. Weight isn't the big kicker for me, it's the way that I look, feel, and the way my clothes fit me. I'm a serious shopaholic and I hate that I can't buy all these fabulous clothes because I look awful in them.That's all about to change though Link to comment

DirtyBird Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Power to you, you can do it! I know the feeling, too. It's not that I feel "fat" per se, it's that my clothes don't fit right. The moment I found myself starting to hide was the moment I knew that a change needed to be made. Link to comment
SirEarl Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I feel ya on the clothes thing. When "fitted" clothes aren't actually "fitted" on you, it's really frustrating. Best of luck on your goals! CrossFit sounds fun. My brother is super into it(he's an instructor or something) and it leads him to all sorts of different activites. "You don't life for be sad, no?"

MerryMissMary Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm from Texas too and I know EXACTLY what you mean about looking awful in all those cute clothes...I won't buy anything fitted anymore because I'm so self conscious about pudge. Here's to looking great in all of them in a few months!
