I'm scared....need support/friends

rozsbluejay

I've been on and off trying to lose weight since I was so young....as long as I can remember; really. I've been on this website before and I left it and I just recently came back but I'm worried I'm gonna leave it again because I never have accomplished a weight loss goal I feel like its never going to happen to me. I need friends that will support me.

I'm sorry youre scared. Please feel free to add me. Maybe you need to focus on smaller goals such as you didnt drink any soda for the day or you ate 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. Focus on the little goals youll get there a journey begins with one step.

Hi! There's a good idea--start with something small. Sometimes a lot of little things can add to some good big things.

I Thought The same thing because I created an account but I got lazy and stopped but once I look in the mirror and I realized the my gain was beggining to become noticeable I decided That I had to get serious. After I got the hang of it and started logging in everyday It Got easier to stick with it. somedays I do mess up but for the most part try to stay close to my goal ever if I do go over. You can always make it up the next day. just keep up the good work you can add me if you want.

I've only been doing this for a week, but I've already found being accountable for what I'm eating has helped me. Feel free to add me too - I've only just begun the 'adding of friends' stuff - I wasn't sure how I'd feel about people seeing what I eat every day, but figure it can only help. We're all on the same trip - some will just get there faster than others, but we can all enjoy the view along the way!

I'd be happy to help you any way I can. I, too, started at 308 lbs. just 7 months ago. I'm 207 now and, after reading your bio, have a pretty good idea what might be your problem. I'll start by sending you a friend request.

Suppose I told you that you really dont have to cut that much out to lose weight?

I understand how you feel. I've been big on my life. I have been able to lose weight once, at least most of it, and I gained it all back and then some. I have to lose more than half my body weight, more than 300 pounds. Just know we are all here for you. Even if you fail come back to this website time time again. Do not get down on yourself because this is a very hard thing to do.

Think of all the other difficult things that people do everyday; a lot of them fail. And the next day when they wake up they try again.

Well welcome back to MFP! I was the same way when I joined. I had been trying to lose weight for years!!!... At first I was successfull on here, and then I hit a plateau and somehow or another I quit. ... I started talking to some of the most motivational people I've met on here and I haven't even thought about quitting again. It's been 95 days since I came back, and I've continued my weight loss journey. You can do this!.. If you quit your only quitting on yourself. Sometimes your body needs a break, but you have to learn to be patient and give it what it needs. Your welcome to add me, i try to be as helpful as I can.

The first time I was on this website, I left it a day later! I've been on here for over a week and I am loving it! The difference is that this time I am taking part in the community and I added friends that are keeping me going and motivating me!! I lost 3 kg, can't wait to lose more!

That fear never goes away. My worst fear is that now that I have lost so much weight one of these days it will start to come back. In fact, I keep expecting the scale to go up. You have to fight that fear one day at a time. You can do this. Just Begin!

JamesterCK

You can add me! I know exactly how you feel. I still have days, even using this website, that I get scared that I'm going to go back to my old ways and just give up. I just keep reminding myself all of the reasons I need/want to do this. You just have to push that fear aside and remind yourself of those reasons every day. I write a blog post each day, and I get out anything I'm scared about or if I even thought about eating something I shouldn't. Talking about the things you're scared about helps.
