Hello
I signed up because I am getting to the point where I am afraid to go certain places because of my appearance. I am supposed to get an award in two weeks but am thinking of not going due to my weight (pictures). I want to take a trip but wonder if the airline will make me pay for two seats.

I want to focus on losing weight and getting in shape.I was in a wreck many years ago and deal with back pain. I was about 60 pounds overweight then but have added 100 since the wreck. Anyway, I do not want to make excuses and settle for less. I know others in my situation have been succcessful in losing weight.

I need to change.

I look forward to reading your posts.

Thanks

Let's face the truth here - this will be hard. You willw ant to give up. You willg et frustrated. What you have to do is write down your true and deep reasons for doing this - the reasons that matter above all else. Put them in a prominent place and remind yourself of the reasons often. They will help with the frustration.
Lean patience. Lean to love yourself enpugh to give yourself the gift of a healthy body. Learn to enjoy exercise, weight training and eating properly.
In short, learn that you are worth the effort.
You can do this. You just have to want it bad enough.
Good luck!!!
