My first post, my first step, my first freak out of "what if no one replies?!," "what if everyone has someone to help them already?," "what if no one cares? Then what?" ...
I am overweight. Have been my entire life -- I over-eat, under-exercise and get really depressed and unmotivated sometimes. I think about my situation daily, I mull over it and pace. I'm going to try and take that first step into actually doing something about my weight and emotional state to hopefully better my life, my health and my sanity!
I heard about this website from an eating disorder website and thought 3FC better fit my needs as a heavy girl. I've browsed around and have noticed the overall genuine attitude everyone has. Regardless of if someone is having a bad day and wants to express it, if someone lost a few pounds this week or even that they gave into the screams of "eat me!" that last piece of chocolate cake was yelling at 3am -- the motivation and sincere offers of advice, help and countless shoulders to lean on has really lead me to feel like I've found the right place.
My next step is to hopefully find someone with similar goals with weight loss so that we may share the trials, ups and downs and just have someone there to count on on a 1-on-1 basis as a friend, helper and swift kick in the butt when we need it!
I'm 21 years old, I live in KY and have many many many pounds to lose (like 150). I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS and was surprised and thrilled to see an entire forum page dedicated to the disease! Yay!
I will spare myself some grief of being hounded by lurking aholes and spammers (you meanies ) by not posting my email addy, but if there's a way to exchange them more readily, I'm all for it.
