I'm Back!
 

I'm back and here to take off this weight and start being healthy again! :carrot:

I kinda feel bad making such a big deal about this because I'm been back and forth for SO long. No wonder no one believes me when I tell them I'm going to lose weight! But I realized something today: I have NO support system! I left school and moved home and most of my friends have not been as supportive as I would like. I never realized how important support was until I started reading some of the messages in this forum. I really can't go it alone because then when the hard times come, I crack under the pressure.

I have had several wake-up calls in the last few days:
1) I realized that I'm 23 with high blood pressure (how crazy is that!?!?)
2) I thought a friend's mom died (it turned out it was her grandmother) but it got me thinking about my own mom and how my family eats so terribly
3) A friend told me that both of his parents have cancer.
All of these events made me start to re-evaluate how I take care of my body and the poor choices I make everyday. I've only got one body and I want to treat it better!

So I'm hitting the road and making it happen! Anyone care to join me?

Well welcome back. Stay strong and you can do this. We will surely be here for support. Good luck!!

Welcome back and good Luck!!

Welcome back!! I just came back too, so you're not alone!
