In need of support

Seven years ago I was 40 pounds lighter than I am now using a popular support group. I had learned the techniques and I thought I could maintain it on my own. I have finally admitted to myself that I cannot do it alone. It is my hope that with the help of my wife and this community that I can gain that support to stick with a healthy lifestyle.

Something in my brain states that I am meant to be fat. I'm not supposed to weight 200bls. I need to overcome that voice and show myself and the world that I can be a healthy person and not an embarrassment to myself, my family and friends. I can be successful for a week and then it all falls apart. Why is this so hard?!

I don't know how to go about searching for support on this website, so anyone out there willing to extend a helping hand to create some accountability would be a blessing. Of course, support is a two way street and I would offer up that to you as well.

Good luck to all of us on a road to healthier living!
