RandomWanderer Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Evening brothers and sisters,I'm a 34 year old who is a year and a half out of gastric sleeve weight loss surgery. My life weight and food wise has been a series of wavy ups and downs, plenty of emotional eating, and a gradual incline of weight gain(my max weight was 373, I did a 6 month weight loss program and lost 40lbs before the surgery and 117 since, so I'm down to around 218ish). I'm enjoying my new lease on life while also realizing that I can easily return to my old ways and gain my weight back if I do not deal with the mental issues as well as the physical. This is why I use psychotherapy and I am actively attempting to change the bad habits I created through 34 years of eating like every other fat goomba Italian on the east coast lol. Anyways I was never a gym person, hate em.. although I thank the gym for my trainer Karen, who introduced me to everything BUT the weight machines, this has changed the way I view exercise and shown me that exercising can be fun and NOT the same old boring sit around and do reps at a machine. I have done all sorts of crazy exercises and I am getting into Parkour as well as trying to find other activities that I like that will keep me active. I look forward to fighting the good fight with you all!RWBefore [ATTACH=CONFIG]4293[/ATTACH]After [ATTACH=CONFIG]4294[/ATTACH] Assassin: Rank: 6 (Disciple) STR: 10 DEX: 20 STA: 7 CON: 6 WIS: 6 CHA: 5[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]"Though one may conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, yet he indeed is the noblest victor who conquers himself." - BuddhaHeight: 5'9" Weight: 215lbs Age: 34|RW's Chronicle(log)| RW's Introduction|Fitocracy|Challenge| Link to comment
