My name is Naia and I am 29 years old. I weight about 280 pounds today, and that's way more than I ever thought anyone could go. I am not happy with my weight and I'm trying some medicine (somehting a bit stronger than fluoxetine, I forgot the name)I'm seeing a doctor every month, but I know there's something I need : discipline, and I don't have it.
So, I'm trying everything I can, but there's something I must admit and live with: I'm fat, but I'm not only fat, I'm many other things and I must take care of everything I am.
I was wondering what I could do, and I was happy I found you.
I hope this is the beggining of a friendship. I have been on other boards here on iVillage, and they have always been so useful for me I don't have words to say.
I don't know how many pounds I actually want to lose, but I want to lose some and I will. I count on God to gimme the discipline I've never had, count on you for the support and on my will power to make it all work.
Nice to meet ya!

One of the best things I have found is to get rid of everything bad in the house to eat. I actually invited my neighbors over and told them to take everything. That way when my disipline or will power fails and I am having one of those days I can only eat healthy food. I wish you lots of luck and I hope you do well. Let us know what we can do to support you. sharla
Glad to see a new 'face' - we seem to be getting more and more! This is a really great board and it's wonderful to come here and talk about things and vent and heal and lose, lose, lose. I started at 265 in December of 2000, and now I am down to 164. When I think about it, I'm kinda surprised.
Ask all the questions you'd like and I'm sure someone here will have some answers. We are all travelling the same path, and it's nice to chat along the way.

I have started getting rid of things that are not that healthy... I had bought a pack of "ovomaltine"(I'm Brazilian, so I'm not so sure the brand is the same up there in the US)... anyway, that's delicious and I ended up having half a pack (a bit more than 200g) within two days... yesterday morning I got rid of that...otherwise I'd eat it all in the morning.
Have a beautiful day you all, and talk to u later (from work ;) )
