I just found this website online. It seems like a really great website. I am wanting to lose about 40 pounds. When I say it, it seems impossible but I am tired of feeling ugly. I want to feel pretty again and gain confidence back. I would love to meet people on here. I need all the help I can get.

    You can do it! Why? Because you have THE RIGHT ATTITUDE! What you need to know about abusers is that they are the ones who lack confidence in themselves, that's why they like to tear others down to their core with negative comments and with physical and emotional threats and abuse. When you don't have any confidence in yourself, then they are more powerful.

    It's time to take yourself back and regain ownership in your beauty and your body! You're on the right path! Keep your chin up, set your goals and look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're worth it!

    Welcome to this site and since you took the first step, you will be motivated and meet nice people who will help you on your journey. You are very beautiful and your ex must have been a total loser not to see that. It doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks, when you get your confidence back you will realize you have always been beautiful. Glad to have you with us. :flowerforyou:

    You're not alone. Realize that you are special and unique. There is no one on this earth like you. Love yourself for who you are. And always remember this, until YOU give yourself permission to have all the wonderful things that you deserve in life, you will never get them. They will always be just around the corner.

    Welcome!!!

    :happy:

    If your looking for motivation and support to start your weight loss journey, this is most defiantly the BEST place to be!! In my short 2 weeks of tracking my calories and starting a fitness routine i feel wonderful and EVERYONE on this sight is their own inspiring story, spend some time reading through the older forum post and there is a wealth of information to be had.
