3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello 3FC community! It is good to find a forum where we can relate! I am Sydney, a 24 year old, 5'3, somewhere between 370 and 400lbs, soon to be married woman! Overall, I have a very happy life. The depression that plagues many obese people and which plagued me through many years of my life is not there anymore. I am young enough that i don't feel terribly unhealthy. I have never really feared fatness or the serious health issues that accompany obese and morbidly obese people. It is what I have always known! My father, my aunt, and my uncle have had gastric bypass surgeries. My Papa has had a quadruple bypass. My fiancé's grandpa and uncle have diabetes. Call it selfish, but now that I am getting married I am seriously worried for the two of us as well as the health of any children we may have. We are a fat couple who love each other and want to be able to grow old together. There is also a long list of other troubles that I am sure many of you have that contribute to needing the weight loss. I don't want to try on wedding dresses. I am getting married May of this year and I have not even walked into a dress shop. I hate shopping. I am an artist who loves fashion, but I hate clothes. I dress vicariously through my skinny sister. I don't want to be a hippo with cute clothes anymore. Dressing up a hippo is pointless, it is still a hippo.

I am ready to make a decision that not only changes my life and the life if my fiancé, but begins a new legacy for our families of healthy living and longer lives.
