[Lolabby]

I've been overweight my whole life, and I'm ready to change that. I just need help starting. My heart tells me everyday it's time but, my head always convinces it that I'm not worth the change. I think very low of myself (I know I shouldn't but, I do). I honestly believe I can't love someone, until I love myself, deep down I don't ever think I could. I have the hardest time sharing my feeling with anyone because they aren't like me so, how could they understand? I came across this site tonight and the 300+ club inspired me in so many ways. =) I think having the support from you lovely ladies could really boost me to not only start but, to keep going.

Welcome lolabby!
This particualr bit of the forum is so supportive because we all are in the same 300 plus boat.
All I can say is each journey starts with the first step which you have made.
The main thing that I have had to get my head around is that this is a journey that will take maybe 2 years to complete. I am somebody who is all or nothing....a stone a fortnight weightloss or don't bother. This is the first time I have managed to cope with a blip and recover within a day or two instead of seeing it as the end and going back to binging. What I am trying to say is that every obstacle you encounter, somebody else on here will either be going through now or have gone through is before.
Keep checking in here, esepcially when you are feeling lonely, or isolated or " I will never do it".
Take care and be nice to yourself!
