Hi,

I am new here and this is my first post. I suppose I have always struggled with my weight but the past year had been particularly personally traumatic, with berevement, serious illness and a broken heart to top it all off! I found myself a few months ago at my lowest point.

At the minute I cant imagine anyone wanting to talk to me never mind find me attractive! But I want today to be the first day of the rest of my life...a life which will be healthy and happy. Just reading through some of the stories here gives me hope and inspiration to change things around and I want to thank you guys for all having such a positive influences on peoples lives! Anyways..this is my new start!

hi missnewstart (love the name)! Man, I am about your height and I think I"d feel pretty darn attractive at your weight -- (*sigh*) the good old days. YOU are worth it and you can do it: get healthier, get more active, and feel better about yourself. This is an amazingly helpful and supportive bunch of folks; I'm glad you found us. What plans do you have for eating / exercise?
cheers,
anita
