I'm definitely not afraid to be thin. I am so ready to start losing weight and become my goal weight, or just a healthy weight. Because that's what it's all about for me. Being healthy. I don't care what people will think of me after I lose weight. I'm pretty sure guys will start to notice me more and people will be kinder but I won't let that stop me from becoming healthy and living my life. I'll also feel so much better with all this weight gone. No more breathing heavy from walking a little distance. Wearing cute clothes. Not worrying if I'll fit in that small chair at the doctors office. So I am so ready to do this!

I hear it! You are doing it for yourself and that is the best person to do it for. I hope that your path is smooth and bumpless (we can only hope) and that you stay happy the whole time. I intend on doing just that too! Its been 40+ years of being heavy for me and its time for this cattapiller to change into a butterfly! YOU CAN DO IT!

I feel the exact same way - I am so ready. I know that it's early in the going for me, but the "sacrifices" I'm making don't seem at all like sacrifices compared with how excited and committed I am. Good for you!!
