Hello there,

Its been ages since ive been on the scale and its about time i take care of myself and change my life and start to live again.

My username is jonah, because I let myself be swallowed of by depression, hate, anger, bitterness and using food for comfort.

Nonetheless, I am now exiting the mouth of the whale, and will be leaving all of this blubber behind me.

Hi Jonah,

It's always great to have another man join the 3 Fat Chicks site.

I hope you look around; it's easy to find a group that feels comfortable that you might like to join. You might also check out the Mens Corner.

Do you have an eating plan and exercise plan already?

I really like the analogy of Jonah and the whale... and I think it's a really positive way to look at things as you move forward...

I wish you all the best and good luck!

Welcome Jonah,

I'm proof positive it can be done. Good luck on your journey!!! Just stick with it even though sometimes it might seem like a daunting task. Its all worth it in the end.

I do have an exercise plan - [some cardio exercise tapes],
but as for eating, I do not have much direction. Currently i have been tracking what i eat on a calorie counting website, and I am also making better decisions.

If you have some good eating tips for a heavy user, then feel free to pass them along

- Thank you, i think it sums up the life i have been living up until now.
Caved away as much as possible, hidden from the world and so forth.


@Borgie

- Thanks for the encouragement. I have seen your journey (was on the forums for hours), and your story helped motivate me to get up and get going.
