Default 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! ^_^

You came to the right place for motivation, there is plenty here to go around! We are all in the same boat as you & have felt exactly the same way. You took the biggest step in deciding you wanted to change & realizing you couldn't do it alone, no one can... Thats why were here! Welcome and keep losing! :-)
