in Introduce Yourself
I wasn't always heavy. I started gaining weight when college hit. I was still active but I put on 10 but i still had a lean body from sports and being very active. said okay no issue. 8 years pass and I went from 167lbs to 242 lbs. At about 230 I took a closer look at myself. Found I can't deny it anymore. I gained a lot of weight. 4 years of it on an athletes diet. Being able to intake 3000 calories was no problem. I don't get too much positive reinforcement from those I know and love with this. If they try it is usually lack luster and too varied for me to feel like I can keep going or they don't understand and tell me to suck it up and go it alone as best I can. Part of the reason It stalls over and over is because part of me believes I can't do it. I can't shake it. I was always a confident kid with talent so I have never moved that mountain any of you have before. I have never had to start at 0 and I really need that yoda to teach me how lol. Please help me with this journey as best you guys can. Thank you.

    OMG you are so right! Some of my family members have actually said you can try but its not possible. How's that for motivation? I'm in the same boat you are, and we can do this! There are plenty of people on this site to help keep us motivated. Feel free to friend me and we can ride this journey out together and prove them wrong!
