Hi there my name is Desiree I'm 26 from Texas...i hate my life! Being fat sucks so much I've been picked on thru out my whole life school was the worse then I had family tease me constantly for my weight and I'm tired of being the fattest person everywhere I go! I have no self esteem, no friends and its really depressing how I avoid being around new people cuz I hate my body. I want to change and I have recently lost 25 pounds over the summer but then again packed on 6 pounds from all the stress I'm going thru...so I wana know do you all have any tips/encouraging words for me? I'm tired of hearing "oh but you got a pretty face" I'm not a floating head!!!!!!!

Hi and welcome to 3FC!

My advice would be to make a plan and commit to it 150%.

Good luck with your goals. You can do this

Hugs
Michelle

thank you! I will do that!

Welcome! I'm 26 and new too..and I have a pretty face as well!!

The only thing that keeps me on a plan is knowing that I only have to do a minute of it at a time, and when I choose not to eat it's not forever, it's just for right now. Not sure if that's helpful, but it keeps me going!

Hi, you are another person who I relate to, I have only been on here for about a week. I was singled out in my own family as a young woman. As I have gotten older I realized that I have to accept myself and not live with blame and regret. I have spent some time focusing on positive things about me. You have to recognize that you are special, and you do deserve to be healthy. I am just begining my journey again and I have been up and down before, and I know that I have to take it slow and do this in a way that can be life changing for me. I am not talking to those around me this time, not because I dont have some support but I just dont want this to be another one of those "ok I am doing it this time" and having it fail. I do not want the pressure, and I have finally realized I am not doing this for anyone elce, I am doing this for me, not to focus on looks but on health. If you would like I would be happy to be your buddy.

Thank you so much for caring ladies I really appreciate it! I know tomorrow is a new day and I have to re start again! I've done it before I can do it again and then some Thank you

Hey girl. I am new too and I feel your pain. My mom use to always talk to me about my weight problem which started with insecurities and bad body image. My advice for you is to lose the weight for youself and nobody else. Keep with it you have already done a wonderful job!!!

Thank you for the support I know I can count on this site to make me feel better! I'm lookn foward to posting before and after pix I want this so bad!
