Default First Step.... Admitting the problem.

Hello All,

I imagine you all sitting in your rooms reading this - a collective group of people who serve as sort of an AA meeting. The truth is that we all are struggling, often too ashamed to even say anything about how hard this struggle is. It seems as if our silence is the first thing that defeats us because there in lies the denial, and the lack of personal responsibility. So here I am knowing that now is the time to be part of a community of people, specifically this community who I think will support and hold one another accountable.

Also,

Today I realized something positive, something important. Which is I have just 20 pounds to lose to be at my dream weight. There are so many people who really struggle with a lot more than that. Furthermore, I am young 23, and weigh 155 at 5'11. So I am well in a normal weight range. Its a pretty good spot to start in.

Even so, we only live once, I am out of shape, and my body feels soft and sick. I would just once like to rock a bikini and feel damn good in it. Just Once to know how it feels to be "one of the beautiful people". Anyway this time I am going to do it right, eat right, exercise and not make excuses. Once a week I will weigh myself and put the results here. And slowly I will begin to build the new me.

Thank you for listening. It really means a lot to me that I can put this promise here/

Welcome! You've definitely come to the right place for support and motivation. You already seem to be at the "ideal" weight for your height, but if you don't feel good in your skin, I understand wanting to shed some weight and shape up. There are lots of great guidelines around here, and plenty of advice. Good luck
