Sunshine, Motivation & Support

Hello world!

After spending most of my life ricocheting between fad diets, ups & downs I regret to say I accepted my fate as a fat girl.

I was happy for a while, free of the counting... But while I wasn't looking, the scale crept up. And up and up. 100lbs. In two years.

I watched the numbers tick higher & higher. Hell bent on "accepting" my fate. My clothes got tighter, and I was blissfully ignoring it all.

Until I just couldn't. I started to address what was really going on. That I had resigned to be "okay" with limiting my activities, with never allowing full-body photos, with pretending like my obesity just wasn't there.

But it is. So now I'm addressing it head on. I have begun consulting with weight loss specialists and am participating in a program that may* ultimately lead to Bariatric surgery.

I have begun keeping this food journal as a means to be accountable to myself and my surgeon.

I welcome the idea of a community. Some sunshine for accomplishments, motivation when the challenge seems too big, & support- knowing someone else believes in major weight loss.

If you're interested in joining me on my journey, I welcome the friendship!

Thanks!

Kiri

    Hello, my name is Sarah. And your story sounds like I wrote it myself! I have gone up and down my whole life, then maintained a healthy weight for years, then within the past year and a half, have put on at least 60 pounds. Tried to deny the reality for a while but as clothes are fitting less and less and I am becoming more and more unhappy and am unable to do the more active things my friends do like hike and ski, I know that I need to change my life or it's going to go before my eyes and I feel that I'm going to miss the opportunity to be happy with myself and experience the things I want to. Would love to find some friends and support on here so please feel free to add me!
