Looking for motivation
 

Hey there!

I just found this site and decided to sign up. I've been overweight pretty much all my life. I'm 25 now and I've come to the realization that if I don't do anything now I won't ever do it, and this is not the life I want to lead. I've been hiding behind my weight to avoid facing my socialization problems so far, but I'm tired of it. I want to live the life I dreamed of when I was little, and in order to do that many things have to change. So today, as I write this, I'm starting a diet.

I've started many before and abandonned them at some point. That's why I'm seeking support. I think that maybe this way I won't give up so easily, or find enough motivation to keep going. I want to feel good about myself at least for once.

So hello ya'll and I hope you don't mind seeing me around! ^_^

Tons of motivation here. Welcome! Check out the before and after pics; they provided loads of motivation when I first started checking out this site.

You will find tons of support here, these folks have given me the motivation to stay with it on days when I just wanted to throw in the towel!

Good luck! :hug:
