Introducing myself.

I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. It has always just been easier for me to be heavy. But that's no longer an option. It's not easier to not be able to buy cute clothes because they don't make them in my size. It's not easier to avoid having my picture taken because I don't like the way I look. It's not easier to be unhealthy and unhappy.

I'm down almost 20 pounds from my highest weight. 7 of those pounds I've lost since starting with MFP. Now I just have to keep going. I need to learn my strengths and weaknesses. But I will do this. I will. Because I have to.

    Good for you!! MFP has been the key to my success! I've been using it since October, and I'm down 28 pounds. :) Good luck!!! It's all in the mind set you have... if you are ready you will be successful!!!
