My 200 Pound Weight Loss Introduction! <3

"Although food will never put you down, it can sure weight you down." :ohwell:


Welcome to my Introduction to weight loss part 2. My name is Kristen and I’ve been a foodoholic for the past few years. Before I ever experienced myself being overweight, I would look around at heavy people and think, “How can losing weight be SO hard? I mean all you have to do is stay disciplined, eat less, and be a little more active. Duh!”

Obviously I had no idea what I was thinking because now that I’m in their shoes, I quickly learned that losing weight isn’t that simple! If it were, there wouldn’t be such a huge obesity problem in America. Being overweight has been one of my biggest battles the past few years. I feel like I’ve been judged, disrespected, and unworthy because of it. I don’t understand why though? I shouldn’t have to be skinny to feel I’m worth somebody’s time and to be accepted.

There are thousands of so called “diet and weight loss plans” going around that promises results quickly and easily. However, I hear that most of them fall through for a lot of people. I’m tired of feeling like a failure and want to prove to everyone that I can do this! I’ve done enough research to have knowledge on weight loss and the motivation. I also have a great boyfriend along with a few select friends and family that has been very supportive. All I can say is that I believe in myself and in God that I can accomplish my goals and be healthy again. I appreciate those who have been praying for me.

Thanks for reading my thoughts and expect plenty more.
