New and fighting the same battle of a 100
Hi there, I am new to this board and am looking forward to getting to know others like me that are on a quest to lose 100lbs. I am frustrated with myself, but in the last little while have been coming out of my shell a little. I am happy to be here and happy to not be doing this alone anymore.

Things I have been trying to do to come out of my fat shell are....
Going walking in the park with my dogs and making a point of saying hello to anyone that walks by me...(before I put my head down, if I would even get the courage to go out)
Joined the Curves gym, before I would have never done that for fear of someone seeing me go in...(silly I know)
Making a point of coming on the internet and joining groups like these instead of just lurking around.

Hi !
Hi Everyone,
I am finding this a bit difficult because I feel like I am admiting I have a problem with food and I am fat and unhealthy. I don't want to be this person anymore, so here I am looking for support from all of you. I am a private person so this is new to me, I am friendly and outgoing I just don't open up to people. I like everyone around me to think I am happy and all is well. Anyone else out there like me?

I too want everyone to think my life is going just grand. I think when I admit openly that it isn't, most people heave a deep sigh. My act must be pretty good then if they are relieved that it isn't.
Well, I am back to the same weight I was a year ago so all I can say is welcome and you are in the best company you will find around.
Lots of love comin at ya

( raising hand Right here! Welcome! My public personnae is this happy outgoing-everything- is-just- right woman. In private, I used to battle anxiety and depression. Lately, I have been opening up to some people, and if they ask how I am doing, I will flat out tell them if I am freaking out over something, or if I am in a pissy mood. I feel way better.

I am completely opposite, I'll tell anyone standing still how pitiful my life is I am very open and honest, prolly too honest.
About 2 months ago I realized I was fat. Well, I knew, but for some reason I always saw myself as much thinner than I really am. I snapped and since then I have been a whirlwind of exercise and diet. I have hit a snag this past week and not lost anything, but my motivation is still going strong.
Welcome to all you newbies. Check out the Mini Goal and Goal threads...they are a real inspiration and gives me tons of motivation.

Don't feel alone. Most of us are like that. I've noticed that overweight people tend to have dual personalities; the one they present to the world and the one they have inside.
