Hi all. Well, apparently I registered here ages ago and I can't find if I posted or not. :D

Anyway, hello! I'm very happy to be here. Not for the first time, I am looking to lose weight and create a healthier lifestyle for myself. I dedicated myself to a healthier lifestyle on November first and I just recently started walking for an hour every morning.

While I feel like I have those piece of the puzzle right, I still have a lot of emotional things to deal with (aka reasons I eat too much). I came here because I don't have a lot (re: any) people to talk to IRL about how hard it is to a.) be fat and b.) be fat in Australia, a country that seems to be in denial about having fat citizens.

So here I am. I have a long way to go, but I feel like if I can get that final piece of the puzzle straight - addressing the emotional factors - then I can really do it this time and will let it stick. And, of course, I'm hoping to make some friends along the way.

Thank you for reading my ramble.

Cheers.

Welcome! There are tons of people here who have probably most definitely been through or where you are. Before I found this place I seriously thought that I was the only one. HA! SOO not true.

I have found that to be the most inspirational thing.

Good luck with your journey

Welcome! Best wishes on achieving your goals! BTW I think that USA is in denial, too, when it comes to being overweight.
