in Introduce Yourself
Hi. My name is Hannah and i just joined. I am on a mission to get healthy and really be there for my two boys. I'm 30 years old and I've never really had any real friends and my marriage is failing. Why? Because I hate myself pretty much. I'm afraid to put myself out there because I'll get laughed at or not taken seriously. I'm shamed of my body and that makes me keep it hidden. As a result of that my marriage is suffering romantically/physically. Even the compliments I get don't seem real to me. They just come from someone who wants something. That's not me. That's not my way of thinking. But it seems to be now. I used to love life and everything about it. I'm ready to get that back. But I need support. Check out my profile and send me an ad. I'm looking forward to my new life. Peace.

    Friend Request sent! I know that it can be difficult but trust me if you do a little something everyday.. it starts to add up. Don't be ashamed of your body because regardless of your sixe we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

    I have struggled with those feelings. It can be so hard sometimes. But you just have to keep getting up and I find that once I take control of the situation things start to feel better.

    It's truly amazing what the burden of our weight does to our lives, physically, mentally & emotionally. It touches all aspects of our lives without us really realizing the magnitude of it all. I don't think we realize the emotional bondage & hole it puts & keeps us in and it's up to us to climb out. I realize this as I am slowly climbing out of my hole and becoming happier & healthier. You are in the right place to a healthier you & a brighter future.

    It's not easy, but you can do it, each step & each day will take you closer to your goals. We are all right along with you & are a great support group. Do this for yourself.

    First, print your message and show it to your husband,--immediately!. I guarantee it will make a difference. He will know it's nothing he's doing but the way you feel about yourself. It will be a step in getting him to be the support you need on this journey. God Bless!!!

    Never let your size stop you from living your dreams. I know someone who is at least 350-400lbs and she is a hair dresser. She dresses so nice and presents herself very well.

    Get confidence in your self now. Lose the weight for your children and for health reasons.

    So proud of you for putting it all out there. So many people feel like you do and never get any support from anyone. I have worked with the YMCA to help overweight youth reclaim their lives and they too often have no support system. (Ex ACE certified aerobics instructor) I look forward to supporting you the whole way!!!

    I completely understand where you're coming from (minus the kids since I'm not a mom), especially the not believing compliments even when they're given. I added you as a friend. Anyone else who needs a friend please feel free to add me. I haven't got a lot of friends on here and sometimes just seeing someone else struggling along side you is all the motivation you need to keep up.

    Hi my name is Justina, I also need support and motivation. It's hard to focus on you when you have a husband and kids. There's such a high demand for attention from all of them. I'm frustrated now because I can being to so good for a week and then I'm thrown off course. Sometimes I just wanna take a leave from family life for about 2 months so I can focus on losing the weight I need to lose. Hang in there your not alone in this fight it's hard. Especially when you have a family that depends on you. :smile: :smile:

    I know how you feel; I've been where you are (weight wise), and I know exactly that pit that is in your stomach. One thing I learned a few years ago is that I had to be able to love myself before I could love anyone else.

    Let's be friends. Will be happy to be support for you :) Make some big changes and hang in there.
