in Introduce Yourself
Hi my names Kate, im new to this, iv had alot of negativity in my life about my weight, been called names since I was a kid, i always ignored it an just played the role of the jolly fat girl, i always tried being positive, but this past few years have weighed a toll on me, iv had alot of negative intake sadly from people i love, my family members, yes people i joke about my weight to help cope, it doesnt mean i want you joking about it with me, iv lost all self esteem an all love for myself, my daughter is about the biggest joy of my life mostly because i know she loves me for me, not for how i look I AM HER MOMMY, but i dont want my daughter growing up to be like me, i want her to be healthy an enjoy being healthy, i want her to be proud of her mommy ... so to conclude this Id like to ask for help, from some of you, i need encouragement and advice on how to stay healthy ,happy, and positive, and i wouldnt mind some friends that know what i am going through as well!!

    You come to the right place then. You will definitely fined tons of people going through the same thing that will inspire you and help keep you on the right track. When you having one of those low moments just remember why you started this and I always keep in mind that you either have to suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret! Remembering that always keeps me moving forward.

    I know exactly how you feel and sometimes it's family that are the worst critics but don't worry...you seem like a very genuine and caring person, I bet it shines through you no matter how you look...but now it's time for everyone to see how lovely you are in the inside from the outside. WE CAN DO IT!!! :)

    I know how you feel because I feel the same way. I am very shy and I don't say much just to keep attention away from me. I feel like people are always judging me. I have been overweight all my life. I finally decided on 07/23/2012 to make a change. I have 3 lovely daughters and I don't want them to suffer any name calling because of their weight. I have been fighting all year to lose 10 pounds and I am determine to lose my first 10 pounds of the year. I need to stay on track and finally be someone that people are proud of. So, lets see ourselves in the future looking good and feeling healthy. I can just see people having envy because all the attention is on you and how good you look. :)

    I'm kinda in the same boat you are. I've been big my whole life also, and I've strugled too. But you know what!? Today is a new day and we can all do it together!! I have a Daughter too and just like you, I want her to be healthy and never have to worry about negativity! I've had to work, work, work to get where I felt good about myself. Then... I got pregnant and gained it all back plus some! So now I'm at 277! And I hate it. I also need encouragement! I know we can do it! Together!
