New to MFP my weight loss quest.

Hello everyone of My Fitness Pal. Today I will tell a small part of my journey thus far, while also introducing myself. First off I'm a fun loving guy, who loves video games, probably a little too much. I want to also say I have been overweight my whole life and plan to change my mistakes I made with over-eating and not getting into shape. I was always the big kid in school when I attended high-school. I used to play basketball and some kid called me fat to my face, and it really upset me and made me realize I need to change. That was 5 years ago I am 23 years now and I weigh the most I have ever weighed. I am at 280 pounds and I'm so ashamed of myself. I also realize I have a problem. I am obese , the only thing that makes me happy right now is that I'm tall, but I want to work super hard to lose weight. I only recently starting realizing what I'm eating and want to make this my life to get into amazing shape for myself and to make myself feel better. I want to lose weight now before I get too old and have a harder time in my life. My goal is to lose 100 pounds. I will not give up or surrender. I look forward to posting my story later on, but for now I have to get there by working hard and taking no shortcuts and by taking action. We are all in this together and I look forward to meeting you, everyone of MFP. We can do it!
