Taking back my life!

I have struggled with my weight for almost 17 years now. I tried to do this alone in the past and it always fails so this time around, I thought I would join a community with the same goal in mind...to lose weight. In the past, if i hit a wall (weight gain) I pretty much gave up on trying. I had that feeling again today. I've lost a total of 3 pounds but gained one back today and I'm not sure why. My first thought was...this is a waste of my time. Then I remembered my best friend is a member of this site and I thought that if I had her here with me, I would be able to handle this better. (I have a bad habit of not telling her things and this way, she can see my progress and we can help each other) I'm not happy with my weight at all. I tried ignoring it but it just doesn't work. I'm single and unhappy. I've seen other overweight women who love who they are and are happy and I don't understand why I can't be like them. I got to thinking...the difference between them and me is the fact that they love who they are and are comfortable with who they are. I don't like the fact that I'm overweight and am not comfortable with it so I have decided to take my life back! :heart:

  • Hi my name is Jenny. I feel the exact same way, until my best friend told me about this site and how she could not have done it without this site! She is my inspiration. I was always eating when i was bored or upset and it just got the better of me! So i am here looking for support of this community and in return i will give my support back. Together we can all beat this and become healthier and happier people!!
