overwhelmed

  • HI all!
    I see so much support here and I am a little overrun with information and where to start. I want to share my story and be a part of the group but I am not sure where to start. I have a lot going on most the time and I need a steady constant support in my life. I am embarrassed of my weight and I am upset with myself for letting it get out of control. Obviously I am over 300 is why I am posting here. I get stressed pretty easily. I know if I can just find that frame of mind again for weight loss under all of life's curves there may be hope. So can someone point me to where I should be? Or is there a place I should start? I posted in December challenge to try and start to be somewhere in here. I also wrote an intro... well it was a small intro because I am nervous. Hope to get to know you all.

  • Welcome! There is no one place you have to start. When I started I just read anything that seemed like it would help me. I've learned so much about myself by reading about others struggles and triumphs. You may not agree with all that you read but I think I learn from everything I read. Hope that makes sense!
  • Hi fruitlooplace, welcome!!

    I agree with unicorn67, read and post anywhere you want!

    I like following the "new posts" to see what is the most current topic but I also go to specific topics if I am wondering about something.

    I wish you lots of luck on your journey, this site is awesome.

    (I just realized that unicorn67 and i are practically twin sisters with our height/weight/goals, you will find that you have so much in common with so many others here no matter what the similarity is.)
