I am in my 20's, Female and 340 lbs.Even writing that makes me cringe.
I have gained and lost alot of weight since I was a teenage, however this is the highest I have ever been and I'm starting to lose hope.
A yr & a 1/2 ago I broke up w my ex who I was w for 5 yrs. Since moving back home, I have gained 80lbs, when I was already heavy to begin with (summer 2012 -265lbs) I saw pictures of me today out to dinner w the fam, and I almost started crying bc I look so incredibly large and unhealthy. My arm fat was peaking out from my sleeve and that has never looked like that before. Im embarrassed.
I started off strong in Feb, lost 14 lbs, worked out everyday, then fell off the wagon HARD.
I'm planing to start my "healthy lifestyle" tomorrow and vowed to get this weight gone once and for all, but I cant help but feel bad when I think about how heavy i let myself become. I am a very smart, talented and pretty girl and there are so many things that I want to do with my life that it terrify's me to think that I'm so handicapped in so many ways bc of my weight. It prevents me from living the life I want to live and I'm so tired of it!
The thing is i know how to eat properly and lose weight, I've lost/gained 100lbs before, but now Im so heavy I feel so awful and almost helpless.
Im starting college Sept 29th and I really do not want to be this big when I start. Im scared that if im still at this weight, I wont go to school bc if how big and insecure I am.
Please, I need all the support I can get. I would love to hear success stores, preferably from woman who started at 300+ and have successfully lost weight. I would love if you can mention the time you started and the length it took you to reach your goal(s) as well.
Thank you so much for reading
