New to this scene

I have decided for myself, and the well-being of my family that I am going to get healthy and finally lose my extra weight. I enjoy cooking and baking, and eating out. It seems this is what I spend the majority of my free time doing. I figure if this is my hobby, I need to learn how to do it more healthy. I have a son who has type 1 diabetes and he thrives when we eat and exercise more. I get into these times when I find it difficult to get started, because I have this idea that people are staring at me, wondering why the fat person is doing the activity I am doing. I want to let it go and just go for it. I deserve it and my children do too. I love to swim and play with the kids, so I'm going to run with that for now. I've got a lot to lose, and a whole lot more to gain in this process.

Yeah, I can see where I am going wrong and I just started this afternoon. I eat way too much and am quite sedentary. I will be making some changes, because I too have a lot to lose. One thing that is really motivating me are my two boys, the oldest wants to join me and cheer me on. I love it. I am determined to make this happen:)

My name is Avriel,

I am just like you, I eat way to much and am quite sedentary too. I sent you a friend request, maybe we can both help each other to eat less, and exercise more.
