Hi! I am looking for somewhere to really have someone to support me on this journey. I'm a very shy person so asking for support is something I not one to do. I suppose I should say alittle something about me :)
My name is Megan and I am 17. In 6 months i'll be 18. The realization of that has been hitting me hard. I weigh 224 and am only 5'5. I've always had a weigh problem and I've always lacked the motivation to do something about it. I've struggled with being fat my whole childhood. It's made me very shy and ashamed of myself. I lack the self esteem to even want to have any friends and this has caused me to put myself in a corner. I guess the point is that in order to feel better I have to feel better about myself and the only way to do that is to lose weigh and become healthy. I've decided that I am going to do it with no ifs, and, or buts.
The main problem with my many attempts is the fact that I try doing it alone. I try insolating myself thinking that it will keep me going, but in fact my constant outlook of myself is just weighing me down.
I appreciate you reading this and I hope that this time will be the time and I don't have to feel so......ugly....

Good luck
It's nice to know I have people in my situation backing me up and knowing% know what its like.
I wish yall the best of luck on you journeys as well.
I do have one question! What kept/Keeps you motivated?
For me it has to be the will to survive and become a better person. I have a personality issue where I get very upset if I feel weak. I keep working out because I just want to get stronger and stronger. I guess it helps that girls actually look at me now too. Just find a reason to keep pushing and go with it. Losing weight is a sure thing if you just keep at it for long enough. It took me years to do it so don't give up!
