Hello Everyone!
Hi Everyone,
I am new here and I have never joined anything like this but have recently noticed how unbelievably supportive everyone is on here. Two years ago I weighed 165 pounds and I thought I was very overweight and I was extremely self-conscious. Today, two years later, I weigh over 230 pounds and 165 pounds sounds like a dream weight to me. I wish I could say I don't know how I got here but I do. I eat as a way of handling stress and boredom...the best cure seems to be chocolate! As I gained more and more weight I started doing less and less. I used to much more active and enjoyed being outside doing things all day...now I just want to hide in my room. I think about my weight every single day and I almost always feel like everyone around me is thinking "wow she's gained so much weight". Anyways, I'm sick of hiding from everyone and not participating in the things I like to do because I'm self-conscious. I'm hoping the support and advice from this site will push me to work my bum off and lose this weight so I can feel like myself again! I would love to hear from anyone, especially people who feel like they are in the same boat I'm in...sometimes it's nice to know you are not alone in this. Thanks for listening!!
