Hi there everyone! I'm a fellow fat chick struggling to lose the weight. Let me tell you a bit about myself! I'm 23, single mom to a gorgeous 2 year old daughter, full time student, work part time at a movie theatre, engaged to love love of my life, and trying to lose this stupid weight so I can go dress shopping! I'm currently 265 and lost 5lbs, my goal is to be 150 again. As a kid and teenager I was always pretty thin, roughly a size 9/10. After I graduated high school in 2006 the "happy weight" just piled on as I dated one jerk after another. Then in July of 2008 I lost 25lbs! ...and then I found out I was pregnant with my little one! So I gained all 25lbs back, lost it quickly after I had my daughter, and gained it all back and then some since March of 2009. Now it's August of 2011 and I've gained at least 50lbs since my daughter was born. Depression, a stressful life, and insomnia doesn't help trying to diet. I think what I've been lacking in support from women who get my situation and going to Weight Watchers meetings is just demeaning and embarrassing so I'm trying to do it from home. I'm only 23 and on 3 types of blood pressure medications, I've been told to lose the weight by my doctor for fear I may have a stroke. Recently the headaches have been bad and my doctor really yelled at me this time! So! Here I am and already successful with losing 5lbs... now I just have another 105lbs to go! I sure could use some nice friends to help me through the weight loss process and I'd love a friend to be supportive of as well. I also need to be accountable to someone so I need someone to be hard on me but supportive if you know what I mean. I'm very happy to be here and I look forward to meeting friends!
