Hi

I think this is the first time I am admitting that I am embarrassed about my weight, and just dying inside. I want to change this. But I end up just ignoring it. I want this time to be different.

Have you considered some sort of counselling? If you feel so miserable it sounds like you need support. It is unlikely you will be successful if you start from a negative place of blaming yourself and hating yourself. There is nothing wrong with asking for help.

When you are really ready to start losing weight, it just clicks. You need to figure out which diet you want to do and just start doing it. You will have slip ups and bad days and days you just dont want to do it anymore but you have to move on and learn from your mistakes and just keep doing it.

Do you know what diet you want to do?

Why don't you tell us a bit more about yourself? If you share your story with us, you will need to face the facts. It can be really good. And we are good listeners, we can relate, so you are at the best place.

Hi Rsmithma. Today is the first day of this journey for me to. I am also embarrassed. Not sure what to do next. I'm sick of the looks & being a fat mom for my infant. Looking forward to this group. :)
