Coming out of hiding....

FattyWantADoughnut

I have been here for at least a month, lurking around. But I've been too mortified to even post anything. I have never in my life been as fat as I am today. It's bad and it's gotten to the point where I avoid leaving the house because I don't want anyone to see me. The rock bottom for me was when I put off visiting my family who I haven't seen in years because I don't want them to see me this fat and disgusting. I realized I needed to really buckle down and work hard to lose the weight, no excuses or falling off the wagon this time.

I know I am capable of amazing self control, I don't really know how I let myself get this far gone honestly. But I just wanted to post I guess for support or friends or whatever. This seems like a great place. (:

I'm glad you came out of hiding as well. It's a fair bet that a lot of us have felt the way you do now so we understand. And I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time worrying about how you got to where you are, unless you think it might stop you from getting to where you want to go.

This is where you change your life, and every minute is a new opportunity.

Welcome! I know I was getting more and more upset with how I looked and how my clothes fit before I found this site in March. For me this site has made a world of difference. I'm down 25 lbs, several inches and clothing sizes, have more energy and confidence than I have in years. Good luck on your journey! You will find a lot of support and great info here. And remember the weight didn't get there overnight, it won't be gone overnight either.
