in Introduce Yourself
I am 42 and looking to lose approx 100 pounds. I used to be in shape twenty years ago and I talk about "when I was slim" like it was yesterday. I know I have the extra weight at the same time I have been in denial for a long time....thinking I can take it off no problem. I have tried it all including some unhealthy methods. I'm tired of being called "Hey Big Guy".....I laugh it off as I do most uncomfortable situations but inside it pains me. I think about my weight 24/7 and it is clogging up my mind....I truly believe I would be a lot more successful at every other component of my life if I could only free my mind. I have moments I am ok but they can be shattered easily. Like leaving the house feeling good and confident and then walking past a full length mirror...ugh day ruined.

Enough rambling for today. I have been using Myfitnesspal for close to a week now and feeling great....feeling hopeful.

Would love to add some friends on this site. Not sure how often I will be on the message boards but would love to share encouragement and receive encouragement when I do.

Regards.
