Hi! Newbie here
 

Since I'm new here, I thought I'd introduce myself. I've spent almost 2 hours now looking through posts and threads and decided to create an account. I know what I need to do now, and you all seem very nice and supportive over here. :)

So, hi! I'm Kayla, I have a wonderful little family and live in a tiny French town in ON, Canada. I actually have another goal I am working on right now, ditching the cigs!

I decided if not for myself, but for my daughter I NEED to do this. I am only 21 and weigh nearly 350. It's a shame really, not to mention depressing. My wake up call: I had gone to the doctors for a check-up, after I had Zoë I weighed 280lbs (I only gained 10 lbs during my pregnancy, which I all lost immediately after giving birth considering she was 9lbs haha), a mere 9 months later I had gained 70lbs. My blood pressure is WAY high, I've developed tachycardia, and if I don't change my life I will need a pacemaker, not to mention I've already had my gallbladder removed. BIG wakeup call, an even bigger one is not being able to keep up with my daughter.

I'm tired of the looks I get, you know the ones of utter disgust. Tired of telling my hubby to "slow down", because I can't keep a normal walking pace. Tired of rejecting offers to go out because I'm completely embarrassed of the way I look. Tired of feeling tired.

Sorry I rambled, I felt like I needed to vent a little, I guess. I've had my wakeup call, I feel ready to do this. :)

Welcome! Hope you find encouragement on this site

:wel3fc: and congratulations on taking this big step. Snoop around and pop in and post wherever you feel comfy.
We probably live pretty close to each other so another :welcome: to another Ontarian.
