Hi folks!

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!

Naia

Naia Welcome! I am also new here on this board also and just started my "weight loss" adventure last Monday. It's really hard but not so bad with friends like the ones you will meet on this board. They are all so wonderful! I feel so blessed to have found this board. I don't think there is a "magic" answer to weight loss. I think it's a path that we all must follow at our own pace and to do the things that work best for us. Just take it one day at a time and stick around this board for encouragement! Good Luck & welcome. (Prayer is a powerful tool - you said you will ask God for discipline, if you ask then you shall receive)!

My husband went on a business trip last year to São Paulo, Brazil. He liked it there. He said you have the best food he ever tasted.

Yes, Linda... yes... I was going to mention the food, but I decided not to heheheh, São Paulo is famous for the food, specially pizza! Man... I love that all.

I have to admit I was praying for God to help me lose weight... but, I think that I must work some too towards that, huh? So... I am asking Him for discipline,and as u said, I shall recieve!
