now or never
 

Hello "chicks", my name is Apey and this is my 2nd time here.

** Somewhat LONG INTRODUCTION coming up ** :^:

The first time I posted something on this website was way back in 2009 when my bf of 8 years broke up with me for being too fat. He said I was too fat to marry and that his parents would never accept me. I used to blog about what I read here and my bf only told me that looking for support for a very loser-ish thing to do. Needless to say, we are not together anymore. That was 4 years ago. :(

I dated a couple of guys from then to now but none of them seemed to think of me as something long term. I got myself in a long distance relationship & even though the 6 hour time difference was super frustrating, I was ready to commit because I thought to myself, at least someone out there wants to be with me for life. Until 3 months ago...

December 15, 2012 I met a guy through a mutual friend at bowling and we went all out as a group for new years. This guy called me FAT on day one !!! Imagine !! Somehow, I didn't let the ego take over. We got really close and every single day he would tell me how awesome I am but the only thing holding me back from a fabulous life was my weight. He sent me google links on weight loss, shared diet plans and pushed me to join the gym. He asks me about my progress everyday. We hang out every weekend from friday night to monday morning and have a blast and truth be told I have never felt better being with a guy who is so straight up honest and supportive. I want to do this for him but most importantly for me!! I know what I want and I have to do this to get it!!! :flow1:

I am 29 years old, 5'5" tall, weigh 262 pounds and this is the start of my journey from FAT to FABULOUS !! Wish me luck !! :wave:

Welcome (back) and good luck on your journey.

I wish you the best of luck, nitrus29! Welcome!

I am very glad that you met someone whom you enjoy being with! I hope that you also remember that you are losing weight for yourself. Never forget that.

Welcome back, and good luck!

Good luck! That's awesome that you guys are able to share and be honest with eachother and instead of letting it be negative, it's turned into something positive for you both!! You can do this!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
