Hello Everyone

Fatphuck

Let me say firstly that I am honored to be among you all. I know we all want to make a healthy change for ourselves. I am glad to have found you all and will be glad to help anybody at any time.

I am a 40 year old Male from Miami Fl. I have ballooned from 175 lbs to a whopping 235 over the last 3 years and feel absolutely miserable and depressed. I want to feel good about myself again. I want to hold my head up high and know that I look as good as I feel.

Im sure alot of you will relate to this. I hope that I can befriend some of you and maybe together it won't seem like such a daunting overwhelming mission.

Recently my father almost died and had to have emergency heart surgery ... A quadruple bypass... This experience truly shocked and terrified me. I want to live. I know my lifestyle and eating habits have contributed immensely to the way I look and feel.

By the way please dont be insulted or offended by my screenname, It isnot mean to demean myself, Its just that I feel most motivated when I hit myself hard with the facts, Its my get up and go Juice.... One day I will rename it but for now it just fits!

Please feel frree to contact me for anything, I would love to be able to help anyone whos feeling like me!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Hey - thanks for adding me a while ago. MFP is such a great site - lots of acceptance and understanding all around - and also the sense of being accountable for yourself in front of the watching eyes of all your MFP friends - that's a big motivator for me. So sorry for the loss of your father. Just know that you're worth the effort. I don't know you, but I'm certain that your dad would be proud to see you acknowledge yourself and be in the process of this positive change. If you ever want to vent, chat or otherwise, drop me a line!

Take care and Keep Up the Awesome Work you are Doing!!!
