I've been telling my mother for at least the past 5yrs that I was fat, but she has refused to hear/see/believe me, so when I saw this website's name, I knew I had to join.
I haven't always been fat but I've always had body image and self esteem issues, so I guess I was bound to fall into one extreme or the other. I'm to the point right now where I don't even want to leave my bedroom. Getting dressed for work is torture, because nothing fits right anymore. And then the drive home...I live in a college town so all I see on the sidewalks are skinny little girls in skimpy clothes and their cute, buff boyfriends, and I wish I had tinted windows because I don't want any of them to see me.
Pathetic, ne? I think so, too. So tonight after work I'm signing up for the MRC plan and I'm hiding the alcohol in my house. My goal is to lose 50lbs over the next 5mo, and then to keep it off forever!
Anyways, nice to meet you all, you can call me Fitz; or in the polite Japanese way, "Hajimemash1te, Fitz desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."
