Just hit 300lbs. Can't keep doing this to myself.

Options
Hi. I'm Sherry. I just hit 300 lbs. I have gained 100 lbs in the last 2 years alone. I can't keep doing this to myself. I will be 50 this year and I act more like a 90 year old. I am embarassed of myself, embarrassed for my kids, and I want a change. I need a change. I HAVE to change!!

Today my journey begins. This weight took a long time to get here so I know it will take a long time to come off.

My sister uses this app and has been doing fantastic. That's what brought me here.

I look forward to having your love & support and hope that I can do that for you, too.

Here I go!!

    You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself, Mrs. Sherry. We all allow ourselves to fall for various reasons. You have come a long way by admitting you want to change, now you just have to take it one day, step, moment at a time.

    Hey Sherry,

    There are a LOT of wonderfully supprotive PALS on here! I hope you meet some! I'm turning 50 at the end of the summer and want to make major changes too.

    I'm on here all day, every day. I'd love to have you along for my journey, so we can encourage each other. Will send you an invite. Hope you accept!

    Just want to say, it sounds like you've already lost weight. As soon as you stop carrying around the weight of whatever is holding you back, you lose weight. Just wait for the scale to change. The hardest thing is to change y9our mind and decide to do things differently.

    Lose doubt, fear, and anything else that stands in your way.

    Gain strength, power and positivity. I know you can do it, and hope you do to. Peace to you.:smile:

    Hi Sherry

    I just started as well with a substantial amount to lose so feel free to add me and we can support each other.

    I've set my next birthday as my goal to get down to target weight but I've broken it down into monthly chunks of where I want to be.

    When I get to target I'm going to take my first ever selfie and put it on Facebook! Haha

    You've taken the first step, and come to the right place! Don't rush things, don't make it harder than it needs to be. You can do it!
