First day of the rest of my life

Options
Hello everyone... I am in need of a new way of life.. I am tired of being over weight. I want to be healthy. I want to walk past a mirror and say that is a goodlooking person looking back at me. You know how anorexic people look in a mirror and only see fat. Well being 247 pounds at 5'3 I don't see
fat... I don't see anything. I'm in great denial. I have joined this group for inspiration, accountability, and progress. I want to be free of this heavy burden and look forward to having other people inspire me to succees.

We are all in this together working towards a common goal. When I joined my goal was to lose about 100 pounds. I thought that was impossible but so far so good.

    I love that you joke about what you see! Me too. Seriously though I lost 6 stone 3 1/2 years ago and I am so ashamed of myself for putting 3 1/2 back on. I have 7 1/2 at least to loose. Looking for motivation from buddies on here.
