in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! :)

I'm new to the site (tracking calories for about 2 weeks now), and I really need some friends to keep me motivated.

Other than a period in high school when I was horrible anorexic/bulimic, i've always been fat, but getting weighed at the dr a month ago really opened my eyes to just how fat I've gotten, and I've realized I need to do something about it NOW!

I don't know how much weight I've lost so far, because I am waiting to get weighed at the Dr's at the end of the month, but hopefully it's a decent amount, because the most depressing thing about being this heavy is...I could lose a 100lbs, and still be fat!

Anyway, enough of the depressing talk....I would love some friends on here that also have a big chunk of weight to lose....maybe we can keep each other motivated! :)

    First of all stop calling yourself fat....you're overweight and need to lose weight just like everyone else on this site. I've had a lot of helpful hints and positive reinforcement and I've only been on here for 3 days. Feel free to add me! Good luck and I'm sure you're gonna do great!

    You can add me too - I also came to the realization that I needed to make a change in my life when going to the doctors office. It's amazing how far you can without going on a scale, then seeing that number jars you into reality. Best of luck with your journey!

    ... because the most depressing thing about being this heavy is...I could lose a 100lbs, and still be fat!

    Well, I could lose 100 lbs and still not be half way to goal weight, so yeah, I can relate to that statement very well, which is precisely why I try not to look at the 'big' picture, just at the little pieces. Those are doable, in a period of time that doesn't sound overwhelming to me. And with them I can recognise successes a whole lot faster.

    So, hello and welcome.
    MFP is a great place to be.
