in Introduce Yourself
Hello. I am actually very nervous about going public with my weight struggles. I have been overweight all of my life; I weighed 171 pounds in the sixth grade. My physician recommended this site and so far it seems easy enough to navigate. I love food and I am a compulsive eater. My highest weight was 290. I lost 70 pounds and kept it off for 4 years. After an angry fight with my thyroid (which I lost) I gained back 30. My thyroid is now under control, so I am starting again. I want to see a number "1" as the first digit of my weight. that's the first goal.

    The greatest thing about this site is that no one judges you everyone helps you and the encouragement is constant. Learning to count your calories, holding yourself responsible is so empowering. I pretend that everyone on the site can see my food log, they can't, but I pretend, that way I make myself responsible to myself and all my support net! Welcome, We can do this, one day at a time.
