Starting over, and over, and over...
HI! I am 32 years old and I am overweight.
I joined a LONG time ago and I have finally gotten back here. Three weeks ago I was at my highest weight of 250 lbs. I was devastated. I try and tell myself I don't look that heavy, but I know I am only kidding myself.
I have struggled with weight issues since Jr. High. Ironically, my mom and I were going to try our hand at scrap booking and I was sorting some old pictures. My boyfriend of 12 years looked at one of them and said "That's not you, she's skinny." That is when my eyes opened. I haven't been fat my whole life. I was skinny once... granted a long time ago. I can do this again.
I also finally have his support, and he is trying to lose some weight as well. The other night I mentioned I was frustrated and was going to give up. He told me "I won't let you quit. You have been doing good so far." Nearly brought me to tears!
I want to succeed and I hope a place for me to talk and get ideas will help. I was a member on another diet board for years, but they turned out to be very small and petty. It really turned me off these boards. I hope to find a better place here.
Thanks for listening!
