My name is Monique. I am 18 years old. I am a cross country runner. However, I have struggled with controlling my weight ever since I could remember. I was an overweight child until I started running in high school as a sport.
But,I never became that good because I had an eating problem. I tend to over eat and then I would gain all that weight back that I had worked for. I am thankful that I am at least active and hope to use that as an advantage.
However, in the past year I have been sedentary due to preparation for college stress combined with the fact that I had no faith that I could keep the weight off. I had no inspiration. Most of my friends did not desire embracing importance of taking care of your body to the best of your abilities--because that is what it takes.
Through fatsecret, I hope that I can find that inspiration so that I will get off my butt and have faith that I can lose this weight and keep the weight off. I look foward to finding friends my age that share the same goals as I, which can be hard to find off-line because many teens either have a fast metabolism (unlike I) or they just don't care. I also want to conquer my over eathing habit. I can't weight to progress towards my goals and network through this community webpage. Good luck to whoever is reading this, as well! :D
