Thumbs up I'm not alone!!

Last week I felt like I was the fattest woman in the world. And the most hopeless. I have been overweight all my life. Having joined 3fatchicks and reading the wonderful stories of support, I find my eyes now immediately going to the commenters weight ticker and the amazing weight losses. I no longer feel alone, or hopeless.
Happy New Year

You are DEFINITELY not alone!!!! I felt hopeless too, but taking control of your life and your eating makes that feeling go away pretty quickly.

Good luck, and...

Oh, I understand that alone and hopeless feeling! Rest assured that you are not alone and that weight loss is possible. Just take it one step at a time, one day at a time! I started this journey in my 50s and have been successful this time. You can do this and you are not alone.

I completely understand what you are saying. There are so many days that I feel the same way and I am glad that I found a site like this one...it is nice to know that you don't have to face the struggle alone.

That lonely feeling can really keep you down. That's why I too came to this board! Welcome and I am excited to be here with you! We are not alone and besides support for the down times, it's great to have a cheering squad for you for the good times - and those I wish many on you!

That's how I'm feeling, excited! I've never felt that way starting out on a diet before but that's what this site does. It excites. I want the ticker. I want to see the weight dropping away. I want to say to a newbie "You can do it just like I did!" Thank you all for your support. And lavieboheme73, its good to meet you too
