New & Looking Forward to Understanding

  • Hi all. Well, apparently I registered here ages ago and I can't find if I posted or not.

    Anyway, hello! I'm very happy to be here. Not for the first time, I am looking to lose weight and create a healthier lifestyle for myself. I dedicated myself to a healthier lifestyle on November first and I just recently started walking for an hour every morning.

    While I feel like I have those piece of the puzzle right, I still have a lot of emotional things to deal with (aka reasons I eat too much). I came here because I don't have a lot (re: any) people to talk to IRL about how hard it is to a.) be fat and b.) be fat in Australia, a country that seems to be in denial about having fat citizens.

    So here I am. I have a long way to go, but I feel like if I can get that final piece of the puzzle straight - addressing the emotional factors - then I can really do it this time and will let it stick. And, of course, I'm hoping to make some friends along the way.

    Thank you for reading my ramble.

    Cheers.
  • Welcome! There are tons of people here who have probably most definitely been through or where you are. Before I found this place I seriously thought that I was the only one. HA! SOO not true.

    I have found that to be the most inspirational thing.

    Good luck with your journey

  • Thank you for the welcomes.
  • Welcome! Best wishes on achieving your goals! BTW I think that USA is in denial, too, when it comes to being overweight.
