in Motivation and Support
Hey everyone!

My name is Jessi and I'm 21 years old. I currently weigh in at 245 pounds (I think, I need to get a scale) I've been battling being over weight my entire life. I have no idea what it feels like to be anything remotely close to average sized and it kind of bothers me. To have lived my entire life hating myself and the way I look has been rough. It disgusts me to look in the mirror and I just wish changing my ways and living my life the way I wish I could rather then living it the way I currently am.

Not many people actually know that I feel this way about myself and my life. I am a nightclub promoter as well as a dj in the east coast nightlife scene. I portray an image to my friends and peers that I am a very confident person in everything that I do, and it's an image I've had to uphold for a long time. I thought after a while of pretending to be confident in myself maybe i'd learn to actually be confident in myself... Unfortunately it didn't work out like that.

So, because everyone believes me to be this confident person I've become afraid to let my guard down and let people know how I really feel which has left me without a group of support that I so desperately need in this journey to become a better me.

If anyone can relate to what I'm going through or also needs some support in this journey or just wants a friend please please please feel free to add me, let's talk! I'm also a very good listener, I promise!

    Hey jessie
    Im pretty much in the same boat. I have always been on the larger size but having just turned 35 I have to get slim and healthy. Ive signed up to a 400km bik challenge in Cuba next October so need to be very fit for that. Plus I have a wardrobe of smaller size clothes which I need to get into.
    We can do this!!!

    I can relate to what you are going through. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I've tried several times to start living a healthier lifestyle, but after losing some weight, I am never able to sustain it and eventually go back to my old ways. After recently finding out that I currently weigh more than I ever have in my life, I am desperate to make this change permanent. I'm hoping to surround myself with a lot of supportive people and planning to change my life for the better!
