I saw another poster on here use this format and I really like it, so I’m gonna steal it.
My History: I’m the typical yo-yo, weight loss/crash diet horror story. I’ve been overweight in some capacity since youth, and have tried just about everything to shed the weight. The closest I’ve gotten to my goal weight since probably high school was a brief stint in college when I hit the 190’s, but the stress of exams hit, and here I almost 50 pounds later. I’m realizing that my issue with weight loss is greatly impacted by how I use food as a crutch, and how I most likely have a food addiction (this is probably something that resonates with a lot of you). But, this past summer has been dedicated to medicating my ADHD for the first time in 23 years, and committing to going to therapy once weekly to target why I might rely on food so heavily.
My Goals: I’m so tired of hating the way my body looks. I’m looking at myself and my youth and feel as though I wasted it being the “fat friend” that hid herself in the back of photos in an attempt to save my embarassment. There is a lot of trauma associated with my weight, and I’m caught in a twisted cycle of using food to self medicate. I want to finally kick these bad habits for good and live the rest of my life with confidence. Please note that I have been overweight since third grade, so I don’t really know what a healthy weight for my frame is. 150 is a rough estimate, and my true goal could be anywhere above or below that number. I’ve been vegan for 7 years, and will be implementing a WF, clean, and high protein diet. I also intend on doing IF, as my ADHD medication thwarts my appetite while I’m on it. I plan on using AlexisClaireFit’s 12 week build program on Youtube with the plan to start her follow-up program, Build 2, when it releases this fall. I also hope to run at least 5 miles a week.
What I’m looking for in a buddy: It doesn’t matter to me if you’re vegan or not (although it is a plus that we’d be able to share recipes), I’ve been dating a meat eater for 5 years, so it doesn’t bother me! I need someone that will challenge me as much as I challenge them. Someone with similar goals (if you only have to lose 15-30 pounds, we might not work well together), and someone prepared to be with me for the long haul: through plateaus, lapses in judgement, and slip-ups. I’d like to keep in regular contact so we can keep each other motivated regularly!
Why I would make a great buddy: I will hype you up!! I am as committed to your weight loss as I am my own. I will hold you accountable and keep you excited to make progress. I like to do “sweat checks” where we send each other selfies fresh out of workouts to motivate each other. I will be there for all your highs and lows, and cheer you on along the way! I also love to talk recipes and share posts with you on social media. Let’s change our lives together!!!
