Not new, but never introduced

I just turned 28. I'm about 75 pounds (or so) overweight. I could say that I have tried a million things, but that is just not true. I have not truely committed to myself or to my health. I would like to say that I am committed today, but I'm not quite sure. I wouldn't say that I was scared to loose weight, to be healthy, or to look great. I have some fear of commitment to the process. What happens if I fail? As it stands now, I'm fat - but, I never really tried to loose weight. If I never really try, it means that I always 'could' loose weight. I could do this or do that, and then I would feel better about myself. I do not feel terrible about myself, but I do have trouble setting limits. I hope to read the message boards and find other people that are like me. Hopefully, I will find the courage to commit to being healthier. Thanks!

    i agree 100% with what you said about never really trying. sure, i've tried diets in the past, but i was never truly committed. what if i fail? well, i guess i'm finally starting to see things a little differently. if i fail, so what? i'm fat now, but if i try & keep on trying, eventually i won't be. i still mess up and eat stuff i shouldn't, but i know that the next day, or even the next meal i will try harder to eat right. it's a learning curve, and i keep telling myself that i didn't gain all of this weight overnight. it's gonna take time to lose it, but i am determined to stay the course and make healthier decisions for myself & the long haul. i read the blogs & comments, and it really does encourage me. good luck & welcome to mfp. this site is truly a great tool & very inspirational!!
