in Introduce Yourself
For a while now I have been putting myself last and everyone else's needs first. It's time I love and respect my body because it deserves that and so much more. It will definitely be a rocky start, but nothing is impossible. Our bodies are so extraordinary and it's incredible what we can actually achieve without even knowing it.

    There isnt anything wrong with putting you first. You will always have ppl trying to pull you down. The ones that support you are the ones that will help you succeed, the ones that try and knock you down are your motivation to push harder and achieve your goals. Good luck!

    It's hard when you have people who depend on you, but you can only be great for them when you feel well yourself!

    Outstanding! I look at it this way - takes years to put all that weight on and get out of shape, but with proper motivation you can lose that weigh in a matter of months - human body is an amazing machine.
