I quit being fat...

I'm tired of being unhappy and huge and sick.

I'm learning there is no cure all. Sometimes, it feels like everyone can be successful in weightloss but me. I've dealt with this ever since I was 5. But it feels different this time..I believe I'm gonna make it. I've never been this big...If I hit rock bottom, I can only go up from here.

Enough sad talk.

I'm a riot! I'm outgoing, bubbly, and I don't see myself as fat! But I am...so sometimes my self-esteem keeps me from being me...and that has to stop!

Feel free to add me :)

I'm really needing motivators. Some days I get so depressed over this, I just give up.

And well, you know that story.

    Took a lot of guts to put your post out there! So, are you engaged in a fitness routine of any kind? Sounds like a look at nutrition and a good fitness plan are in your future. Sincerely hope you reach your goals. Good luck.

    Your post made me really sad. Feel free to add me for what I hope can motivate you. J. You have to understand that your story is way too familiar with others in the failed attemps and struggles. You have to start off my challenging yourself little by little in gaining knowledge of good nutrition verse what your think is healthy. It has taken me 2 years to have gain some knowledge and i am still learning because my body is different than everyones else and because the body does adapt to workout routines. I leaned a lot about food. A good book that I highly recommend is the The Kind Diet. It is a vegan book, however you dont have to be vegan to learn from it. I struggles with my weight before getting control over things but one thing I found out was that I had a medical condition with my thyroid. Make sure that you get medically evaluated and cross out all possibilities of medical conditions. I hope that your succeed in your journey. :)

    Great place to start - looking for motivation/support!!! What's your game plan??? I recommend start with one change and do it until you feel comfortable (i.e. just get comfortable logging your food every day or go for a short daily walk and add two minutes each time you go walking - up to 30 min). I will be happy to offer support and encouragement. It will take time, but you can do this!!!

    PS I'll send you an FR here in just a sec.

    I could've written this myself. But I also think I'm so ready to do this once and for all. Food is not entertainment. I'm learning to love foods that love me back. You can totally do this. Sending you a friend request!

    I understand completely! I've dealt with being overweight since I was 2, and I too get overwhelmed or depressed and I want to give up, but I don't. I have loads of support on here and I would feel like I'm letting them down.

    You made the first step to being thin. Now, think thin. Eat like a thin person. I suggest you get the book, Eat Fat to Lose Fat and also The Science of Slim. Start reading lots of motivational books and articles, get ideas. Don't get on any fad diet. Just eat good, clean organic food, grass fed meat and good eggs, coconut oil, some olive oil. Exercise within your limits.

    Best wishes to you. You will do fine.

    Well as long as you can pick yourself up and dust yourself off ONE time more than however many times you give up. You will achieve your goals.
