Day 1: Gotta start somewhere

rachelleybelle

"I don't look that bad." This was the thought that always followed a new high on the scale. I never really cared much because I was happy with how I looked. (Still am) While having a healthy self-esteem is great, letting it get in the way of being physically healthy isn't. I weigh the most I have ever weighed and it needs to stop somewhere. I need support. I need encouragement. I need MFP friends!

Truer words were never spoken!! "Gotta start somewhere"!! Congrats on making the decision! It is never an easy one, but always a great one! :drinker:

I haven't been happy with my appearance in a long time, but I just wasn't doing anything about it!! I made the decision on Sunday that I HAD to do something about it. I just quit smking 6 weeks ago and I had gained TEN pounds from that alone!! Now's the time to take charge and get myself to a "happy me"!! :happy:

I felt the same way too, that the scale just kept going up and I had to do something about it.

I'm happy there you're here, welcome!
