  • It is hard. I know. You have to ignore the people who are being stupid. No one knows what it's like unless they've been there - and hell, even some of the people that have been there are horrible. You don't have to cut anything out of your diet, because this is about making a new life for yourself. You're going to want ice…

  • This has been a big thing for me. I've just had to come to terms that people are going to talk. I don't care. They can live their lives however they like, but I don't have the energy to care about people I don't know!! I have myself to take care of. Don't let yourself stop. Soon they'll be talking about how amazing you are…

  • Hello, everyone! I'm Dawn (or Dee, I answer to both). I realized I needed to change in August '12. I'm not sure what my highest weight was, because I didn't have an accurate scale until about 370. That was in September, I think. I'm at about 330 now. It's been a slow journey, and I'm definitely trying to keep it slow…
