Hello, my name is Lisa and I am from Texas. I have been working to lose weight all of my life and I am finally taking the step to commitment. I started working out, eating healthy, and enjoying life. I don't let my weight stand in my way anymore and I do things I never would have done a couple of months ago. I think this is my time to shine and rise up to the battle of the buldge. I am frightened, but at the same time I feel amazing. It's now or never and I am not letting anything stand in my way. Not even the voice in the back of my mind that will often try to convince me to fail. God Bless!!

Hi Lisa,
Welcome! I just joined last month so I'm fairly new here too.
Good for you for making the decision to change your life. You're right, it is your time to shine.
I totally get what you mean when you say you are frightened. I'm a bit scared too, but the benefits that I know I will receive far outweigh the perceived negatives. I guess I've always looked at weight loss like I'm being deprived or that it's not fair that I have to go without when others can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound.
My view has changed now though. I don't feel deprived. I don't feel like things are unfair. I finally realize that I want this more than anything and will do anything to get it so I'm excited about the journey now.
Best of luck to you on your own journey Lisa.
Take care,
Tammy

Thank you so much for the wonderful message. I totally agree with you! I guess our bodies fight to not be deprived of the things it thinks it wants...like chocolate, fast food, and pizza. But, a big goal of mine is to change the way my body thinks and try to reprogram it to want healthy things and lots of water...hehe....Have a blessed day my friend ;o)

I just joined today and this is also my first time to "post a reply." I'm kinda excited! It feels so weird to openly discuss my weight. I would NEVER have told anyone that I weigh over 200 lbs. BUT, since we are all fat it feels really good to acknowledge and own it! So, thanks!
