AwakenTammy

Hello everyone,
I've signed in today and gone for a walk. I am determined and hopeful for myself, but also scared of failing.

Loosing weight is important for so many reasons. I am 45 and weigh 244 lbs. I have always been overweight, but this has gotten really out of control. All areas of my life are affected. My work, my health, my marriage, my sleep, my play and my parenting, but my self worth has been hardest hit. I would like to be invisible as I am embarrassed of myself.

I think of myself as an active person who loves to play outdoors, but for the past few years I have been so heavy it has been hard to play. Every year I cross my fingers that I can get my ski boots over my fat calves. It is hard for me to get into a kayak and I look ridiculous on a bike.

I've enjoyed some of your quotes and stories and look forward to this journey with you.
