I'm 5'6" and 312 lbs currently. I'm 27 years old and have struggled with my self-image my whole life. I'm a stay-at-home Mom (Domestic Goddess ^_^. ) as well as a Wife. I'm educated in what I should be doing but I just find it so hard to work out. The last time i remember being less than 200 lbs was when i was in Jr. High weighing in at 188.
I was raised to eat everything that was on my plate and more often than not, that food was southern fried chicken, meatloaf, biscuits and gravy and sweet tea. I consider food such as that to be a 'treat' so I only make it maybe once every few months.
I hope there is someone out there that can relate to me! :D

    OMG I soooo can relate! I was born and raised in Alabama and my Granny was the best cook I knew. I learned to cook at her knees. When I started I was at 308, lost 2 lbs before joining here... and this, my friend, has been a Godsend! This site is awesome, the people here are awesome, and best of all, EVERYONE here wants you to succeed. Add me as a friend and we can support each other!

    I too can relate. I'm a little older than you but was raised to eat everything on my plate. It's hard to get that out of your head even though you know you no longer have to eat everything on your plate. Welcome and if you want extra support, send me a friend request.
