Hello!

[princessoperapants]

I'm a newb. I can't wait to Paleo-Lift my life. I live on the East Coast, sing opera, teach little kids during the school year, love a good joke, spend a litttttle too much time on imgur every day, and am a happy child of summertime.

 

Hi!!!!

[princessoperapants]

I guess I should also put all of this out there-

 

5'8"

197.3 lbs

14 in neck

41 in bust

37 in waist

44 in hips

 

I've always been big....my issue for a long time was a true addiction to food, I would eat constantly, snack all night, sneak food from the pantry when my parents were asleep. I was not active as a child, and it just worked itself out from there. I went to college and was pretty active, but ate like crap constantly. Now, I don't eat nearly as poorly, but any high caloric intake immediately causes me to expand in the abdomen/hip/arm areas. 

 

I'm excited to start eating Paleo, and more excited to start doing the awesome workouts from NerdFitness. I'm a wimp when it comes to forcing myself to exercise, and a MAJOR excuse-maker, so I'm hoping to find some serious inspiration from these message boards.

Food addiction has been a huge issue for me as well.  Cutting wheat out of my diet has done wonders to cut down on my portion sizes and snacking.  I'm sure you will find the Paleo diet helpful.  Good Luck!
