After sixty minutes of debating which forum to post in, I decided to just jump right in and post here. It's a bit silly how nervous I am right now to be typing this introduction, but I feel as if this post will be the beginning of a long overdue journey to creating a happier and healthier me.
My name is Kayla, I'm a 25 year old who was once awesome and fearless! I didn’t allow a number on a scale or the word “fat” define who I was. I was simply me. At a size 18, I never let my weight stop me from doing the things I loved. I joined the swim team, danced around on stage in musicals, and walked around the mall acting like a fool for all to see. I was happy with the person I was.
Nowadays, not so much.
At 304 pounds, the scent of awesomeness has long faded and the curtain has closed on my act of fearlessness. Instead of embracing the things I love, I hide from the world on my couch and watch through the window as life passes me by. After months of fooling myself into believing I can continue to live life this way and be okay with it, I am finally taking steps to reclaim the “once upon a time” Kayla!
I have tried to find support through other places such as Twitter and Facebook but as you can see, I am too wordy for Twitter and on Facebook, I highly doubt my old classmates care if I lose a pound or reach my goal of 10,000 steps a day. I found 3FC through a google search and fell in love with the amazing encouragement and support that you offer one another. I feel that this is the perfect place to start my journey to awesomeness.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you and supporting you on your amazing journeys.
