rabbit Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi. My friend turned me on to NF recently (which I'm extremely grateful for, because this has been a real motivation for me.) I went from being rail thin most of my life to nearly 200 lbs at 5'2" (and I'm female.) After doing approximately nothing, I got back down to 150/145, but now I'm stuck. I try and try, bouncing from ED and subsequent health problems, to massive undertakings of weight loss in "healthy" ways (fad diets claiming to be the perfect diet, etc.) I'm now beginning the Paleo diet, and slowly incorporating small amounts of exercise into my routine. My goals going forward are:Get down to my goal weight of 120 (but the most important part is fixing my diet.)FIX MY DIET - I work an extremely stressful 12 hour a day job start at 6am (I'm a taxi dispatcher), and have been living off of delivery (cheesy bread being the biggest culprit) for an embarrassing amount of time. What I typically eat regularly is disgusting.Get fit - Even when I was thin I was out of shape because I never exercised.Quit smoking - I've been smoking going on 9 years, enough is enough. I smoke a pack a day and get winded during my favorite exercise (the adult alone time exercise.)Long story short, it's not about just the "getting thin" anymore. Now I just want to be healthy, to live a fuller life, and stop feeling like garbage all the time. I'm also really looking for some NF community members to help me out. I need buddies, and I'm most successful at endeavors like these with help.Thanks!
