I need this board to help me in my weight loss journey. I am sick of being fat...sick of feeling like everyone is judging me because of my weight. I am truly tired of buying clothes that I hate, but need to get because it's all that will fit. I am tired of feeling sick after every meal...why do I do this to myself???
I am a mommy of two beautiful kids who love me the way I am, but their mommy does not love herself and she SO wants to change this. I am probably around 370 pounds at this time and maybe even higher.
I am job hunting at the moment and my weight is haunting me....first impressions...you know how it goes. I want better and I can do better.
May I please join you all for the upcoming fight??
Thanks in advance!
Lucy

Hi, Lucy!
Hi Lucy! ..Welcome to the board. I think the same as you do, I always wonder what this person or that is thinking about my being overweight. I have 2 beautiful daughters, Faith age 5 years and Cayleigh age 11 months, Faith tells me all the time "mommy you're beautiful", and that makes me feel wonderful, but I want to be here in 20 years for her to tell me that ! .. I have found a lot of support here, and I know that u will as well. We are here to help you, to support you, and to give you a good KICK in the behind when you need it! (we all need one sometimes) .. feel free to ask any questions u may have, I'm sure most everyone here will try to help as best they can. Again welcome to the board, and I look forward to hearing more from u in future posts ! :)

Hi Lucy:
Welcome to our little corner of the world. I think you'll notice we all have at one time or another, felt the way you feel right now. Many of us struggle with that feeling daily. But what sets us apart is that we keep coming here for support and butt kicks and just plain old companionship from others who understand.
Have you given any thought to setting some goals? Maybe set a small one at first to get you on the road to success. I think many find that setting and reaching smaller goals makes you feel better. Like you're actually ACOMPLISHING things. It's hard to think in terms of losing over a hundred pounds, but you can do it!
I look forward to seeing you around!
