I've joined this group with my wife, Amy. She and I both want to shed some extra pounds so I agreed to sign up with her and help support her in her efforts. I eat fast food quite often and have little willpower when I get hungry. I like pork fat, cheeses, meat and soft drinks. Starchy, carb rich foods are a big weakness but luckily I don't struggle with a sweet tooth. I'm inspired by my wife's dedication and desire to be healthy and I hope I can continue to support her as we go through this process together. I was dismayed when some a-hole messaged her right after she posted her introductory forum saying some inappropriate things to her. Clearly he's "trolling" this site for vulnerable women and preying on them assuming they're weak and have low self-esteem. I hope he sees that this is wrong and destructive to some people. I also hope that if anyone else is approached by this guy, or anyone like him, that they call him out for that type of behavior. Best of luck to those of you with good intent, I look forward to a healthier future!
