Hi! My name is Michelle and I am new to the boards. I don't even know if I am posting this in the right place, if not please forgive me. Anyways, I am currently bordering 347 pounds and desire to lose about 140 pounds within a year and a half. The reasons I want to lose this weight are so I can feel more comfortable with myself, and be more active in my child's life. I hope to be down to 247 by October, wether or not that is an attainable goal I don't know, but it is my goal. I have tried dieting in the past and never had much success. I now see my obesity as a result of food "addiction" and I plan to treat it as if it were a drug addiction. I have to stop eatting things that are bad for me and will eventually kill me. LOL I know it may seem silly to take it that serious but that is how I have to look at it in order for "healing" to occur. I started a new eatting plan, etc. on Monday. The difference between this time and the last umpteenth times I tired to change my lifestyle is 1.I am open to support from others, because I have realized I can not do this alone and 2.I am setting more realistic goals for myself. I look forward to crossing paths with some of you on my journey to reclaim my former self! I welcome or (need) any feedback, comments, advice, encouragement, constructive criticism, or conversation you have to offer. Thanks in advance.
