So, I have been here before and I know this works, but somewhere down the line I just gave up, on EVERYTHING. Now, I need to do this, be healthy and active. I don't want it to consume my life, just be a natural part of it. There are things I want to do and being this heavy will not make it easy. I think I stay in this bubble I live in because I am overweight and it is safe and I need to start taking risks.
If there is anyone who feels the same it would be a relief to hear it. I have plans of travel and having children, but time is racing, I NEED TO DO THIS NOW. I know there is no secret to this, eat right and move, but why is it so hard to do this? I know all the ins and outs -- portion control, veggies, walking, etc...., I am good for about 3 months and then I sabotage it somehow and think well, its too late, just live how you want to, and give up.
I need to break this cycle and would really appreciate some serious support and maybe some good ol' competition, lol.

When I read your post it reminded of my own internal struggle. I HAVE TO DO THIS! I'm also looking for a support system to encourage and challenge in this lifestyle change!0
