    hahah I'm glad you can relate! Though I wouldn't wish these feelings or "problems" on anyone, it's a real comfort to know that there are people out there who know where I'm coming from and understand what it's like.

    I am proud of myself, I'm making small improvements every day that add up to a lot over time. It's not easy, and I sometimes wonder if I'm doing enough, fast enough. I have come pretty far, but still have so far to go. Sometimes it feels like 3 steps forward and two steps back. lol

    That was awesome. Don't worry about what other people think, they don't have a right to judge you to begin with. Keep up the good work! Hope to see more of your posts soon :)

    Oh gosh.. YOU guys made me cry. To read so many of you are proud of me makes my heart swell. That touches me more than I can say. The only one who's ever said they where proud of me was my mom (and I often wondered if she meant it or if it's just something that moms are like supposed to say lol). But to hear all of you say that to me - it really clicked in me that I'm actually doing this ...and that I can KEEP DOING THIS!

    Thank you!

    What an inspirational post! I went through a smilar way of life. I hate having to buy men's sizes just to be able to wear something. My goal is to never shop at Lane Bryant again!

    Good luck to you in your journey.

    I kind of hate that expression “you let yourself go”. I didn’t go anywhere. I was never THEIR to begin with. I was born nearly 10 pounds to a diabetic mother.

    The original post is very inspiring! That first sentence stuck out to me -- do you think there is a correlation between a high birth weight and tendency towards overweight later on? I too was almost 10 lbs at birth, and my mother had gestational diabetes.

    I am so motivated by your post. I recently just came back to the website. I too grew up fat and have no idea what it is like to be thin. The way you look at as knowing what it is like to be fat just puts things in persceptive. I would like to share in your journey to "Let yourself Go"! :flowerforyou:
