I guess this is where I start!
Sooo, I started my weight-loss journey on January 17th, and I am very excited for what's to come. I know it won't be easy, but I am very determined.
This has been a long time coming, I've just never really had the motivation before.
All throughout high school I had the normal self-esteem issues, I was around 200lbs when i graduated 5 years ago, and I felt terrible about myself. I realize now that 200lbs, while still overweight, wasn't as ugly as I thought it was. If I would have just worked a little harder, had a little more support, I could have been much happier.
I've been married for nearly two years, and I'm thinking about starting a family, which leaves me realizing that I need to be in a healthier place for my husband and future children.
I have let my health get out of my hands and weigh over 300lbs, now I'm taking control of my life, what I put in my mouth, and how long I sit on my butt. I just know that I will need a little bit of support to make it. It's going to be a long journey and I'd love to have some friends for the ups and downs!
