Reclaiming my life
Hi, another newbie ready to make some changes. I always say I'll pig out one more day and then start "tomorrow." Liar! After kidding myself for years I am ready to put myself out there. It took me seven years to gain nearly 100 pounds and that was preceded by numerous ups and downs. There are many days I wonder if I'll survive beyond age 40. It has gotten to the point where I'm afraid of looking for a new job and I'm ashamed to socialize with friends and relatives.
Guess what? I'm not good at dieting. I need a complete lifestyle overhaul. Extremes don't work for me, so I'm going to make small sensible changes that will work over time. More than being thin, I want to be healthy, I want to feel well, and I want to live a normal lifespan. I have been lurking here for months and I'm really looking forward to being part of this community! |
:welcome3: Your attitude seems very sensible and you are so right about starting now. I've always struggled with a "bit extra" (albeit that that bit has varied by 15lbs) but I always put it off until I realized that I've put it off for 20 years. If you've been lurking here already you'll know all about the great forums so jump right in and get losing.

Hi , this is a great place to be, I understand where you are coming from, I am a SAHM who needs a job, but I felt being so fat, who is going to hire me, I used this as an excuse to stay home, and eat more, but when my health started declining, I stopped and decided to do something about it. I am still unemployed, but I know one day I won't . This is a great place to be, there are lots of great support groups here, look around and find the right place for you. Good luck Cheryl |
HI! :wave:
You really HAVE come to the right place! I NEVER thought I'd be able to change my life, and my EATING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT AND THEN SOME!, but this place is amazing. I come every single day, even if it is just to pop in and out again - but it keeps me on track whether I am having a good day, and a bad day or whatever. You sound like you have a sensible plan - we're glad your here! Keep checking in and let us know how it's going - good luck! Heather :D |
Thanks for the encouragement, everybody.:thanks: You guys are an impressive bunch. I appreciate the positive feedback about my "sensible" plan. I have tried plenty of unsensible plans and look where it has gotten me. No more! I am really looking forward to working with all of you "losers"!:)
