Hello from miserable!

Hi, I've just had my last meal where I hate myself afterward. My sister-in-law suggested this website and I'm excited about getting started. I've got 50+ pounds to lose but I'm trying to not focus on the big number. I gained this weight within the last twelve months due to a medical condition. Before this I was very active and fit and now I'm so overweight and emotionally down that it's been very difficult to get started. I hope this is the motivation I need.

    HI. I totally get the miserable part. I love this site AND I constantly struggle off and on but what really helps, me anyway, is to keep coming back here and checking in. I was doing great and then totally sabotaged myself. I hate that. But, when I'm here reading what you all write and seeing your successes I feel much more grounded and hopeful. Good job moving in this direction.
