The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Hello everyone, I am new to this community and hope that this will help me better organize my weight-loss goals and therefore, stay on track and become fit. Since I was a child, my problem has always been overeating. The struggle never seems to get easier and I find myself wishing there was a magical cure so that I can eat like a normal person. Unfortunately, there is no magical cure, and my getting healthy is contingent upon me and me alone. I want to be happy, I want to feel good, I want to feel young and energetic and full of life. Right now, I feel the complete opposite. I'm 27 but I feel like I'm 67. I recently started snoring, due to being overweight, and it has affected the way I sleep and the way my fiancé sleeps. My weight is becoming an issue not only for me but for the people around me as well. I am ready to start living life and learning to eat right so that I can live a long and happy life. I am ready to say goodbye to the foods that hurt me and hello to the foods that help me. I want to make a drastic change in my life and become the person I know I can be. I am tired of hiding from the world, afraid that someone might see this sickness that consumes me. I am ready to be my own cure and prove to myself that I have what it takes to not give up and to continue down this long road until I've reached the destination where I truly belong. I'd love to be friends, please add me so we can help each other down this road!
