Hi. A friend told me about this site the other day. I have been over weight for a while now...like 13 years! I have tried several times to lose weight and get in shape, but I think it is really time. I have a high school son and I know there are times he does not want me around because of how I look. I am not doing it for this reasonthough. My best friend is 22 and he has always made me believe in myself since the moment we met. I amnot doing it for that either. I am doing it because I dont want to be out of breathe walking up stairs. I dont want to not go places because I cannot look at myself in the mirror. I am finally doing it for me.
At the end of September my goal is to walk and run a half marathon. I know I can do it and I really hope this will help me out. I have already increased my protien which is an accomplishment. I am starting to actually look at what I eat and it is helping too. I am going to make my goal, but I feel like I need some friends to help support me and check in on me. I know it sounds silly, but I live my life by a schedule and never seem to put anywhere for me. I am ready. If anyone would like to become friends and help out that would be great.
Have a beautiful day!
