in Introduce Yourself
A friend of mine recommended I come to this site. I'm so very tired of being so much overweight. I'm willing to try anything. Maybe this will be the start of a new beginning. I don't expect it to happen overnight. I've always been overweight, and don't expect to ever be a teeny tiny girl. But I'd love to be able to walk into a store and find pants that fit. I'd love to not have to wear a girdle to make myself feel halfway decent under a summer dress. I'd love to have more energy. And I'd love to be healthier, and hopefully avoid the diabetes that runs in my family. I have trouble with diets because even though my boyfriend is super supportive as are the other people I know, unless you have a support group who is doing the same thing they just don't understand. I need the support. I know it won't be easy going but I'm willing to try. Thanks :)

    Only you can decide if this is something you are ready for and committed to! It is SO worth it, girl!! I've struggled with my weight my whole life & have dieted tons of times in the past. This time is completely and drastically different than every other time because of my mindset. Myfitnesspal is an incredible tool! Feel free to add me as a friend! I will support, encourage you and help you out in your journey however I can :+)

    Every day is an opportunity to be the person you want to be... to start fresh. Everyone has their own struggles, but I truly hope you will keep trying :-) Be good to yourself and when you stumble a bit (we all do!) don't be too hard on yourself... changing my inner dialogue and being as kind to myself as I would be to a friend in need was a big turning point for me. I wish you much success!!
