Ready to Love Myself

Hi everyone,

I'm 29, and last Christmas I ate so much I was violently ill. I was sick for days. I think my body was fed up with my destructive habits, and I was so ashamed of myself. After a few weeks of watching what I ate and feeling myself become less bloated, I finally had the guts to step on the scale. I was shocked to find myself at 265 lbs, my all time heaviest weight.

I dieted for a few months, but life got busy and as usual I pushed myself and my needs aside. I'm now at 237 lbs, and I want my life to change. I don't want to be the fattest person in the room anymore, and I'm tired of altering my clothes to accommodate my massive chubby arms. I'm ashamed of where I am.

It's hard to find the motivation at home. My boyfriend is such a wonderful person, but he's also naturally slim and doesn't see why we can't eat nachos and poutine all the time.

I'd love to make some friends here, and hopefully together we can find the motivation to change our lives!
