Hi Addorable - I just joined last night myself and am hoping to get the support I need because I am so disgusted with myself at this point and only someone in the same boat can understand and lend support. My boyfriend who is very thin and muscular has no clue and although does try to say supportive things, he thinks "just stop eating bad foods" is the answer. If it were only that easy! I personally am an emotional eater and have lost all my self-esteem which just lends to more eating. I know until I find love for myself again, my life is suffering. I haven't worn shorts in 3 years because I hate my thighs. I won't go swimming in the daylight because I fear what others think of me in a bathing suit and I used to love to swim! This weight has to go as life is too short! It is so hard for me because most of my life I was reasonably thin for my body and now that I've lost control over it, I seem to be spiraling down and down and the years go by. To date, I've talked a good game about what I am going to do to change things, but here I am still fat! This time I'm taking action and am thrilled I found this site.
I will do my best to check in regularly and be supportive for you. You can do it one step at a time. We can do it together!
PS - Sorry to go on about myself but for some reason I can't start a new thread. Keep getting an Error 504 Gateway Timeout. I wrote to the site about it as I read that only the site can fix this problem but I'm sure it has something to do with AOL. I tried to go in under IE but then I couldn't see any pictures GRRRR but that may be my only option to start a thread. I am so lacking in computer knowledge.
Hi Everyone = )
