Brand New!!

bfrasier127

Hi everyone!! I am a 31 year old single female that just started this site. I have been struggling to loose my extra weight for the past 3 years. I only have 40 pounds left to go. I reached my heaviest of 183 lbs. back in 2007 after going through a tough time. Before that, I never really had a weight problem. I started running last year and have done three 5 k's since May of 2010. I have slacked a little lately due to life happening. I lost two grandparents in a matter of two months last year and in the process, one side of the family has decided that we are not good enough to love. It has been hard and I have been very down lately and of course I choose food to deal with the hard times. I have really slacked on the running and exercise and really need to get back on track and hope that this site will help along the way. Never being married and not having kids at the age of 31 is also very hard emotionally. It is a struggle everyday telling myself that I am good enough for the right man. There are days that I just want to just lay in bed all day, but that is getting me no where.

welcome, this site is amazing. I have found encouragement and caring.I have not been here but a few weeks but already I feel such encouragement. Optimism is rampant here. I know life gets us down and most of us here turn to food but soon you will be deciding nope, I need to walk a few laps round the block...lol. Sometimes I just visit here checking out blogs and boards when I get hungry and the losses are enough to keep me out of the kitchen. Good luck. We will all be behind you.
