Default I back and this time its for me

Hello, my name is Chris and I had came to this site a few months ago wanting to to lose weight and just like everytime before I bailed . And in doing so I began to drink heavily to try to make myself feel better. NO one knew about because I wk 3pm to 11pm and I would hide it, I drank while everyone slept then I slept my days away. Well at a wopin 227.2 I have made some changes I am now on Zolft and have been 2wk without a drink and 2wks without smokin to . And I feel great. I have signed up for a fitness program at wk. I start today with my trainer ( God help me) I will be wking out 4 days a week. Well I just wanted to tell someone. I don't want to tell family or friends, afraid they will just think that I starting something I will never finish like so many times before. And don't want to see the look if I succeed. We all know that look, and I don't think I can handle letting them down again. I have babbled long enough I guess. Oh by the way would love to have a buddy or two. Thanks for lettin me vent ......Chris

Chris -- Welcome back!

Doing it for you is important. I hope you like your trainer. I love working with mine -- it helps move me forward and I'm learning a lot too.

Keep posting here for support!

HEY!!! It's nice to meet you. I joined as a member on this site yesterday. I am a college student, and I DEFINATELY understand what you mean about not wanting to tell anyone that you are doing it. Like I'm telling my family, but my friends back at school I do not want to tell because I'm kind of embarrassed about it. I just feel like if i tell my friends at school, there will be "you're not gonna last" jokes here and there that I really dont need. It's not that i get offended by such comments, but the negative energy doesn't really help in the will power department.

Good for you, Chris! Sounds like you have made A LOT of positive changes! Oh, and I know that look... Lord, do I know that look. I haven't told my friends and family what I'm doing yet to avoid that look. I get my support here and it's wonderful. Someday they will figure it out if I do this right, but I'd rather show them through my actions rather than words this time.

Welcome back!!!
