New and would like friends

templeton321

Hi Everyone, I have had this app on my phone for over a year and all I did with it was load the information on my workouts. I tried using the diary for my food but I lazed out. I lost weight and put it back on. Then I lost weight and put it back on. You can see where I'm going with this. The truth is, I have never really talked to people about my weight, my diet or whether or not I was happy in my own skin. It was a secret that I was overweight. Lol. My secret. Shhhh my husband doesn't even know I'm overweight. The mirror knows and so do my clothes. So I decided to try something I have NEVER done, talk with other people about it. Get support and give support. I thought that if I could somehow remove the emotional stigma of my weight and my body that I might possibly feel more free and quit hating myself for failing at this whole weight loss thing.

I can definitely relate, I'm just now accepting that my weight is unhealthy after being big my whole life so far. You can add me so we can support each other on this weight loss journey!

Hello,
You've taken the first step, which is admitting you have a problem.

I love what you said about your weight being a secret, haha.

Being honest with a support group on this website or elsewhere is incredible, all you'll find is motivation and words of encouragement.

Avoid the trolls, they're stupid.

Add me as a friend if you want.. And anyone else can add met too for that matter
