Back on the Wagon

Hello my name is Mel, and I'm a foodacholic. This is my second attempt at using mfp. The first time was not successful,, obviously as I still sit here weighing a whopping 270 lbs, and miserable as can be. I'm making this my last attempt to save my life, my last chance to change my lifestyle. I realize that obesity is becoming the norm and its horrible. Why have we let ourselves get this way? I look around and there are so many children that run and can barely breathe, it breaks my heart. I am doing this because I have to be a role model. I have 4 nieces one of which is currently overweight. It kills me inside when I see her and hear her talk bad about herself, she is only 10. She tells me how people at school make fun of her, and I see the way her brother torments her. It takes me back to my childhood, I feel those emotions again of feeling like the biggest person in the class. I have always had issues with my weight, I guess alot of people have. I'm making this change today, I won't stand to be this way anymore. I am on my way to realizing my worth, to seeing my self as a healthier and skinnier person instead of this shell of a person. I am jumping on this wagon once more and though I may fall off because no body is perfect, I will get back on and keep rolling. I will be joining support groups this time, I need the support. I have a wonderful husband who will support me, but he also inhales a box of cookies at the same time. I love him dearly but he doesn't know what it is like to be "a fatty". I also have a best friend who is in the same boat as me, I'm hoping she joins mfp as well because she can use the support too. We support each other in our journies but its not working. So anyone who is looking for a new friend please add me, and I will gladly support back. Thanks for reading my post. And I wish everyone the best of luck on their own personal journey.
