in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I am a 25 year old mother of two beautiful daughters, ages 3 and 2. I have been overweight my entire life, and by now, my size has consumed everything about me. I have been afraid to "live" literally, because of my size. I want to be a great mother to my daughters, but have found myself limiting their activities, because I have to accommodate myself. I have become literally embarrassed, disgusted and angry with the person I am today. I am fed up with being obese and have decided to take this journey for once and for all. I have tried everything from slim fast, to atkins, to the cabbage soup diet, to diet pills, and many others, and I am ready for a LIFESTYLE change! I do NOT want to be on another diet, but rather, change my LIFE, and after hearing about this website on the today show, by a woman who lost over 300 pounds, with the help of this site, I decided to give it a try. I am staying positive and truly feel that this website, and all of you on here, will be the extra support I need, to get to my goal.
SW: 320lbs
CW:320lbs
GW:130-150 (not really sure yet on this, as I have never seen this weight since probably 7th grade)
Height: 5'8

    Hi hun

    Well done on joining MFP and taking the first steps to your lifestyle change. I find the minute I say diet Im in trouble already and want everything even if I dont eat it. Keeping the food diary is fab I write down and weigh everything I have even if its naughty. Do a little exercise and you will soon see the lbs start falling off. Good luck and keep us posted xx

    You've definately come to the right place... And with right attitude...
    It is definitely a lifestyle change, not a diet...

    I wish you all the best on your journey... And feel free to add me if you need/want encouragement and support!!!
