Hi everyone! I'm new here. I love onine forums so I think this will be a great support system for me.
I am starting Weight Watchers at work. One of my co-workers is doing it with me so that will be a big help! I've tried weightloss on my own off and on for about 2 years with ZERO success. I'm hoping the accountability is what will make it work for me.
I have 70+ pounds to lose to get down to my goal weight so this will be no short or easy journey. Mainly I am going to start focusing on just eating right and I'll work in the activity slowly.
I am 32 by the way. I work full time. I wasn't overweight until college where I began to put on some pounds - and then when I got pregnant things went downhil and have been only worse and worse. My self-esteem is pretty much ruined. I used to feel so pretty and good about myself but now I hate to look in the mirror or have my photo taken. It breaks my heart that there are hardly any photos of my daughter and I together because of this. I want to fix myself for me and for her. I want to feel pretty again. Not too much to ask right?
My name is kind of a joke I guess. I have a problem where I am almost compelled by peer pressure to eat whatever happens to be around or whatever everyone else is eating - one of the things that led me to where I am. So the "fries with that" mentality is something I will be battling with daily.
