edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Matt.

This is not my 1st time losing weight by any means; but I made a promise to myself that it will be my last.
I am only 27 years old and I have gout and hypertension, along with being borderline diabetic (probably). My dad recently was diagnosed with type II diabetes, had 2 heart attacks and CHF (congestive heart failure).

I have been above 275lbs for longer than I can remember, I cannot even remember a time even back in my childhood being thin or below 250. And because of this I was always self conscious and lacked confidence so growing up and even today I never really had more than 2 or 3 friends my entire life.

I want to get my weight down to get my health back under control as well as feeling better about myself so that I can go out and try to make some friends and start enjoying life.
