Hi Everyone!
I decided to join this forum because I have gotten to my highest weight ever, and I do not have the greatest motivation to lose the weight. There is part of me that knows I need to lose the weight because of all the health problems I have now. The other part of me has worked so hard to love myself just as I am, so now its difficult to change who I am. My weight isn't me, but it is a part of me.
My biggest stumbling block when trying to lose weight is my self-control. However, I have been portioning for the last three weeks and I have already lost about 4 pounds. Those 4 pounds have motivated me to keep going, but I know I will need help to keep it up from people who understands what I am going through.
I have not done very well this week because of stress from work. Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in day, and I am afraid I went up instead of down.
Anyways, I look forward to meeting lots of you lovely people!
