Default 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.

Default 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.
