Newbie Introduction
 
Hi, my name is Sara, and I am fat. Alright...glad that's over :) I've been struggling with my weight for the past three years. I started gaining weight after a traumatic event in my life occurred. I became an emotional eater. I ate because I was depressed, then I was depressed because I was fat, so I ate more. So it became a vicious cycle. I'm sure plenty of you on here can relate. About six weeks ago, I woke up from my depressed stupor and said, "Sara, enough." Since then, I have changed my life radically. I have started to exercise everyday. I don't buy any junk food, because having it in the house is just too much of a temptation. I allow myself one "foul" day every two weeks where I can eat out for one meal and have whatever I want. So far I have lost 21 pounds and I feels so much better. I have never felt this motivated or proud of myself. I wanted to join an online forum because these feels might not last forever and life is a roller coaster of up and downs, so it would be nice to have the support of others who are going through the same process.

Welcome Sara! I am fat too but this seems to be a great place to find support to healthy weight loss.

Hi Nurse Sara & welcome! I too am a fat nurse. I blame all those appreciative family members who bring us copious amounts of chocolates & pastry as a way to say thank you. Actually I blame myself as I had the choice to indulge or not, eh? LOL

Penguin is right, look around the website & find the area(s) you feel a connection to. That is where you will find your support. Come back often to fill your cup with encouragement.

Good luck Sara.
