Starting Anew

  • Hi,

    My name is Alesha and I am starting a new life. I could write for hours about all of my previous attempts, and failures, at dieting but I am not going to. I just want to talk about who I am today and what I want to accomplish.

    Today I am a married, twenty-something professional. I am 275.4lbs and 5'5. I need to lose 110lbs to get to my goal weight of 165.4lbs.

    I am a young profession, which means that most of my day is comprised of sitting at a computer typing and talking away. I haven't had a very active life, so many things I will be learning or experiencing for the first time.

    I am not sure which diet to embark on, but I think a combination of a diet, counseling and overeaters anynomous and this forum will help me achieve my goal.

    Oh, I am also a diabetic with borderline personality disorder. The wrench that puts me on a very tight timeline to straigthen out my health situation. The depression comes and goes, but my new diagnosis has me more motivated than before to straigten up and fly right. I need the help of a friend. I need more motivation. Any ideas?
