Hello ^__^ -waves-
Hello everyone! I am CutsieMina -points to username- LOL like that wasn't obvious. I've joined this site because I thought it would be cool if I met people who could relate to me. (With similar weight/ and struggles) I really want to meet new people who might inspire me, and keep me motivated- through out my weight loss journey. I've decided that I want to lose weight.
The decision was made recently. I have not been feeling well, and lets just say I recieved a rude wake-up call. I am a former webmodel, and I was comfortable (for a while) in a community that encouraged weight gain, and adored cute lil fattys like my self. (Yes refer to my self as fat. To me, fat is not an ugly or bad word. I am not ashamed of who I am, or what size I am.) Any way.. as I've mentioned I am not ashamed of who I am, or what size I am. I do how ever want to lose weight for health reasons. It's some thing I am doing for my self. I also know, what ever size/ weight I end up at, that I will be beautiful no matter what. :cheers: Afew years ago I grew quite confident, and I refuse to let my size/weight label me as some thing to be considered ugly. I refuse to go back to "hating my self" I had to learn the hard way that ONLY MY OPINION should matter. Just because society says plus-size people are disgusting, and ugly, does not mean it is true. I am not a follower, I am a leader. So heres a little about me if you're interested in getting to know me. -I am 24 -Scorpio -Italian/Mexican -Illinois -Very girly -Loves to laugh -I am confident, and a lil bit crazy I hope I meet amazing people. :) Tell me a little about your self. |
Hi! And welcome!
I'm not really active on the boards, more of an occasional lurker. I'm 29 and have been overweight/obese most of my life. Probably since I was 5. But I never felt anything was "wrong" with me, or that I wasn't pretty or good enough. So I totally get that. I think that's why its taken me so long to actively try to be healthier and lose weight. This is a great group, with lots of support, advice, and sympathy. It's truly an indispensible community. |
Hi Mina,
We're height twins. May be we're weight twins too? |

Hello & thank you! I know, me either. I totally forgot about this site for a moment. I get so busy with other things. I'm going to try to be more active though! I've had the same problem. I never felt..different. But now that I'm older, I've gained even more weight with the loss of my parents. I stopped caring about my health for a good 3 and a half years now I'm way larger and I'm starting to feel trapped in my body. That is what frightened me. I'm getting exhausted a whole lot faster, and I'm constantly sick. Afraid I might become diabetic. It's just time for a change, and I need to start going to the doctor more for sure. I feel like I'm going to like this group very much. It seems very supportive. Wish me luck, as I will you! (Good luck on your weightlost journey friend! & I'll always be here to chat & support you when needed!) |

Welcome to the forum! I'm a newbie, myself...
Never felt bad and have always been active(but carrying too many pounds), but the doc was concerned about my A1C, which has me trying to lose the weight and be "better" about my diet... You CAN do it... Dean |
