New Woman here - looking forward to becoming a new woman out

Hi, I'm Cathy and I'm overweight! (there I said it!) I had to come to a true realization that I really am fat! I used to be a cute, energetic, hard body - and this person I've become is really gross in my eyes. So how would I expect to look good to anyone else if I don't feel good about myself?
So here I am. I've been here two weeks, but this is my first time in the forums. I have lost 6 pounds and feel like shouting it out !
I hope to make some friends, build my self esteem back up, and then take on the last part of my life with a smile.

Cathy, I feel the same way. If I feel gross and think I look terrible, why would anyone else think differently? I am so glad to know that I am not the only one out there who feels that way.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! Keep up the good work! I'll send you a friend request.
