Default Newbie!
Hi everyone. I have been reading your supportive communication with each other and think it could really help me. I am so depressed about my weight; I have no self confidence in my ability to change anything in my world right now. I have never been at a place like this in my life. Not sure how I got here, but I don't want to stay here.

Good Morning Desiree, and welcome! You can do this!!! This site is great for me for support, focus, and ideas. And the people are sooo nice! With their help, I've stuck to my "journey" for a month now with no binges, and that's HUGE!!! I haven't stuck to a "diet" in years!

It IS just one day at a time. I look forward to reading more of you're posts!

Hello there and welcome to 3FC!!!

I know it seems overwhelming sometimes, especially if you look at the big picture and the long road ahead. At least it is for me with so much weight to lose. So, I try to break it down a little at a time. I don't have to lose 200 pounds today or this week or even this year. Right now I just have to work on making the healthiest choice I can for this moment.

You can do this! You can make one change today. One small change. It doesn't have to be huge or completely life altering. Just one small change. One minute, one step, one choice at a time will get us where we're going.

Thank you to everyone who replied. It means a lot to me! I will definetly keep coming back and I feel encouraged just for today. Maybe I will even excercise. That's funny; I never excercise after work. I can't seem to get up off the couch.

Desiree, Welcome to 3FC

Glad you joined! Exercising after work is always hard because you are already tired, but trust me you will feel better.

Welcome!

You're definitely in the right place. People here are so supportive and just generally nice which is sadly hard to find a lot of the time. But know that anything, especially your weight loss is in your control! It takes time and incredibly hard work, but it's so worth it.

I look forward to seeing your posts! Good luck! =)
