in Introduce Yourself
I am 27... 252 pounds, yes, 252, 5"5' African American woman.

I am also a happy... wife of 8 years and mother of 2 young children.


Do I bare my soul on these post/speak the truth/or be superficial?

I know only to speak as if you were in front of me and that is was you will get.
The Truth....

I am SAD and so sick and tired of being sick and tired....

I am so tired of buying slip-on shoes because it takes too long to move around the fat to tie my shoe.... I am so tired of the black shirts.... not being abe to walk in a store and find my bra size (only to come out with accessories).. walking and getting looked at as if I am a side freak show.... starving because I can't eat food because stranger are looking at me(with eyes that say"you don't need to eat at all") .... WE gotta eat too!!!

Yes, I am big but I am a person. Who has feelings/ who is loved/ who gets sad and happy.

LOL!!! did I just go on a rant I have always wanted to say those things but never got the chance.....


N E WOO... here to find people who can help me on my journey and who can encourage and I can do the same....
I need tips and suggestions, smiles and way to goes!!!!! and MFP friends....

Thanks

    Your welcome to add me. I am also new at this site and can also use friends. My goal is to lose 40 lbs by my 40th birthday in April! I have 3 kids, a husband and I went surgical menopause more then 5 years ago due to a hysterectomy. I am tired of feeling fat, tired and looking frumpy.

    Hi=) My name is Coley. I'm 33, 5'6 and also weigh 252!I've been at the gym for almost 7 months but have been stuck here for 3. I started at 274 and have decided to do this to get a boost!

    You will find that the people here are MORE than supportive and camaraderie is abundant! You may even find a partner. That always makes it kinda fun. I wish you the best of luck. Stay strong and remember...THIS IS FOR YOU!!!
