Felt like giving up

I just today discovered this site and decided that I would give it a try. I have been trying to lose weight for a long while now and nothing seems to be working and I feel its because I have no support. No one to tell when I am hungry or no one to share ideas with. I know that I want to lose weight and be healthier. I do not want to do it because I want to wear cute clothes or look attractive or not be called fat anymore. I want to do it because I want to be someone that my daughter can look up to. I want to chase her around the house and not get tired after 10 minutes of her two year old energy. I would like to not spent half my life on the couch because I do not have energy to spare. I am hoping to meet some amazing people and possibly make some great friend who I can lose weight with, succeed with, get through my struggles with. People who will not let me give up no matter what. If I find that here, that would be amazing.

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Hello,

    I understand your pain... I felt the same way. This site is amazing... one peice of advice is to stay on this site EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Support comes from everyone around you and you never know who will add something that will lift your spirits and keep you going. Today was it for me... .Because I ate some sweet almonds and thought "why am I torturing my self counting calories' well I got on line and logged my day and found so many positive stories that it made me committ to continue. You can DEFINETLY add me as a friend.. but rememeber when your feeling low you can read these comments and continue to motivate yourself...

    This site is great! If you long on often and keep track of your calories- exercise and food you should see results and if you ck out the msg boards, blogs and groups you should easily be able to find people to lose weight with.

    I;m starting over again this morning after a night of bindging due to hostility and the need to get away......I can no longer use excess food as a means of excape......I would like to encourage you to keep going and if you fall down, get back up!
