Smile Hi!!!! Looking for Support!
Hi Everyone,

I have lurked on this site for a while so now that I am starting to become a little more concerned about my weight I decided to join and contribute.

I have been large for most of my life, somewhat funny since I was such a small child initially. My mother was afraid that I would never gain weight. Unfortunately, by the time I reached 6th grade I was wearing about a size ten. Fast forward to today and I'm about 267 & a size 20/22, and I hate it, tired of people telling me how I'm attractive now but I would look so much better once I get smaller (what a backhanded compliment). Hearing things like that made me believe that I wasn't worth anything and I struggled with mild depression as a teen.

I have never really been a "diet" person, of course I would make attempts, but a week later I would be back to eating lots of carbs and fatty foods. I just assumed that this is how life would be and it was all my fault and I could probably never get rid of the weight.

I'm here now though, and over the past month I have slowly but surely been modifying my diet, and recently started walking. The majority of the people here are supportive and inspirational, so I decided to join in on the fun.

Thanks for reading!

Hi!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on making the decision to take ownership of your weight problems. That is the first step to losing weight - taking responsibility for your weight and making the decision to change.

Just keep on walking and eat a healthy and balanced diet. You should also try to do light weight training. There is nothing as good for burning fat as weight training.
