Hi all. My name is Sue and I have about 80 pounds to lose. Not quite a hundred or more but quite a large enough amount anyways. I am totally uncomfortable with myself most of the time and when I do feel comfortable it scares me cuz I don't want to be comfortable and spend the rest of my life being unhappy and a fat s***. I'm tired of people asking me when my baby is due. I'm tired of being uncomfortable when my dh and I have sex. I'm tired of my knees hurting and my back hurting. I'm tired of being tired.

So in the morning I am going to check out Curves to see what they have to offer. I am going to make a grocery list and try to eat healthy food instead of crap. I am going to take my beautiful 18 month old dd out for a walk. I am going to try to be happy.

My dh is wonderful. He never says anything negative. He tells me I'm beautiful regardless of how I feel about myself. He takes pictures of me. Which I hate BTW. I look like a huge cow!

So I'm done with my wallowing and self pity. I am going to take charge of my health starting now. Thanks for listening.

Welcome Sue! So glad you've decided to join this wonderful board. There is plenty of motivation to go around here so jump right in, the water's warm! :)

Best of luck to you on reaching your goals, I'm sure you'll do great. It will be amazing how wonderful you'll start to feel once you get going on your journey. You sound like you are going into this prepared with Curves and making lists for groceries, you'll be glad you're organized.

It's wonderful that dh is so supportive of you! Mine is absolutely a godsend to me in helping me reach my goals. It's always such a great help when your mate is along for the ride 100%.

Have a wonderful weekend Sue. I look forward to hearing more from you soon!

welcome to the board Sue! Good Luck with everything, it's great that you have a supportive DH. People on the board are doing different things so if you need any help with anything someone should be able to give you their history with it. And if you ever need support just post away.
