in Introduce Yourself
This photo was taken on my 27th birthday this past October. I can’t even look at it. I’m at the most weight I’ve ever been. I don’t feel inside how I look outside. Decided to change my life around and get healthy. Need all the support I can get. This is probably the hardest thing for me to do, but has to be done. 😔 Need all the motivation and support I could get.

    Your not alone, that’s for sure. I think the most important thing is not totally giving up, it all starts back on Monday, no matter what. Even if you have a bad day or two, get right back to it. It’s when we say screw it, we’re in trouble. Everyday you have to try, hardest thing in the world. But thousands of people seem to get to their goal, so o figure I am nobody special, just gotta keep plugging.

    You are absolutely beautiful! Best of luck achieving your goals. You'll find MFP a very supporting place. Start with really small changes. Maybe just start off not changing your diet, but logging for a week or two so you can learn portions and what foods are very calorie dense. Get a food scale. Then move onto pre-planning your meals and/or making small adjustments in your favorite meals. See what works for you. Do you prefer smaller portions of your regular foods or can you live with substitutions for calorie dense items like zoodles for pasta or riced cauliflower for rice, etc.

    You've got this! Just remember, motivation wanes, but determination wins.
