3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Ready to roll into a new mindset...

Hi to all! :)

This is my very first time joining a weight loss support group... But I guess I joined because I had enough.
I've always been a chubby toddler--kind of cute at the age, but just became a fat kid (triple chins included!!!)
Coming into the teens, I lost some, but not enough...You see, I'm at the borderline of "not skinny" and "fat". I hide the fat with my clothes, yet when I'm alone, I see the ripples, the cellulite, the bulges.
And I tried a lot of things from starving to a vegetarian diet, but never lost anything for good.
I fell into a passive state of mind about it, but then something happened that changed my mind.
Same old story, actually, of many girls, I suppose--I fell in love.
With a senior way out of my league, who actually talked with me in class and flirted.
But I know that because of my 30 pounds of excess weight, nothing is going to happen.
And he will graduate next year, and I will never see him again---and so ends the story. But I am determined to lose the weight so that I will never go through this again.
I'm determined to lose the weight so that I can have the confidence to reach out and try my very hardest to get what I want, and not have to worry about impossibilities due to my weight.
So I'm taking a step of faith, and deciding to embark on yet another journey of weight loss. But this time, it's not to prove to others what I can do, what I can become--it's to prove to myself that I can do it!
So that's...my story. I hope it'll have an ending filled with jubilation and success!
