Wow your post is everything I needed to hear in this exact moment. I have lost around 20 pounds since Jan 2015 but I let "life" slow me down from my progress any further. Thank you for your advice. This has helped so much!

I LOVE IT!!! I cried just reading your post because I felt I was reading a little about myself.

For me, I had to realize that I'm beautiful first and foremost! PERIOD!! No matter what weight or size. I'm a good and decent person and friends will love me for me and not anything else!

But I want to be healthy! For my kids, my hubby and most importantly MYSELF! I will not allow society to dictate what size beautiful is! I love me, I just want to love "less" of me!

Gonna add you as a friend! You seem very inspirational and just so you know, you look GORGEOUS! But you definitely don't need me to tell you that.

Great job! You've made an amazing transformation and serve as a true inspiration. I love your advice list! Keep up the most excellent work!

forgivensins · June 2015

Thanks for posting this. I'm also 300+ and pretty deep into a PhD program and grad school seems to leave little room for health but it's been my number one goal for the past year and I hope to continue with it as I move forward.
