Just Me

My goal is to get down to 190 or so. I have been overweight my whole life which has caused me to have a very low self-esteem (though most people never know because I am always smiling and seem so happy). I have never been married and have had few serious relationships, again very embarrassing to admit. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol.
I am ready to start a new chapter in my life where I will be healthier, look good, have confidence in myself and to be able to ask someone out on a date without being so self conscious, and be more open and honest with myself. I have some support from friends and family but could always use a little more. I need all the help I can get to stay on track to reach my goals. I am going to Hawaii for the first time next summer for a friends wedding. Would love to go there and strut my stuff on the beach knowing that I look good.

You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hawaii will be sooo worth it. (I need an exotic vacation plan to keep me motivated too!)
And maybe you'll even meet a cute date!!!0 -
the great thing is that everyone here is in the same (or a similar, but slightly different model) boat.
Let's support each other, work our butts off, maybe be hungry, but not starve... and then strut our-hot-selves 12 months from now!0 -
Good luck in your journey! You can do it and there is so much support here, it is unbelievable. Feel free to add me if you would like.0
