in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. Well, I have been dieting all my life. I have been over weight since I was a kid but honestly I feel like this is the first time in my life that I want not need, to make a change so I can live a longer life. I'm tired of hearing people say behind my back about how pretty I am but how beautiful I would be if I got a lot of this weight off. I believe I have a food addiction so this is a big fight for me. I started last week with my change of eating lifestyle and so far I am down 13 lbs. This is my first time on here. I would love to make some new friends that are here to encourage and info me as this will be a hard battle for a lot of us. Hope to chat with some of you guys.

    Welcome! I'm new to MFP too. I'm here because I need accountability. I've been overweight all my life too and I'm done being that way.

    Welcome & good luck to you!! I just joined yesterday and after fighting weight ever since I can remember, need to do something as I'm actually having some real health issues (as if I wasn't before, but ignored them) that are affecting my daily life now in some big ways. You can do it! We can all support each other together here! :)

    I am the very same, constant battle. Hate those comments about how pretty I could be if I lost the weight. Add me too if you want. And well done on your loss so far, amazing!
