Default Ispiration, support and someone who really knows is why i am here

Like everyone on here, I am trying to lose weight. It's hard as ****, as you all know. Growing up I wasn't fat, that i know now from looking at my old pictures, but at that time, I was told i was. As I grew I'd gain a lil, but when I actually started packing was when I was in college i guess. It bothered me and i tried dieting, but I am weak. Well about a couple weeks ago or so I had a meltdown. Well not really a meltdown but my fiance and i had a big arguement and I just cracked. Everything I have always kept to myself, everything that happened and affected me, my past, my fears, my thoughts just came gushing out. I basically just laid it all out on the table of how sorry i feel for myself, how i depressed i really am. And before this confession I never shared my true feelings or shown an sign of weakness to anyone. And no one would ever thought I was depressed. My Fiance held me in his arm tightly and told me he will always be there for me and will help me through anything. He told me to forget the things in the past and what I was told. He held me and I just cried my heart out and something in me just clicked. After that I just felt so sure of myself. And one of the things I wanted to do was really lose weight. And I am doing the exercise, eating right and i stumbled upon this site while i was looking for information on what else i can do. I read some peoples blog and I felt more confident and even though I have my wonderful fiance by my side in whatever i do, it's good to know that there are others out there trying as hard as i am and actually succeeding... Thanks for reading
