Newbie here

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this group Well, kind of - I've been reading for a

while, nodding and thinking, yes, that's exactly how I feel. I thought

it really was time for me to start posting here.

I'm a student from Germany, 18 years young (turning 19 in November)

and I have never been seriously overweight.

Well, then what am I doing here?

Truth is, I knew if I didn't do anything, I would sooner or later be

overweight. I was obsessing about food, trying to lose weight ever

since I was thirteen or fourteen without ever needing to. What it did

for me was to really destroy my healthy relationship with food. I

gained weight, gradually. Of course it's normal to gain weight during

puberty, but in June I weighed 150 lbs being 5'7 " . It just wasn't a

weight I felt comfortable with.

I have since started to listen to s podcasts and it has helped my

attitude towards food improve a lot. Still, I have barely lost any

weight. I'm up to podcast 17 about Relaxed Intent and I'm still at 148

pounds.

Can anybody help me? I believe I'm not keeping track well enough. How

do you motivate yourselves to keep track? And what do you keep track

of exactly?

I appreciate any suggestions, comments and ideas!
