Hello everyone I am new here and would like to introduce myself.
My name is Charity and Iam a 32 year old stay at home mom.
I currently weigh 270 lbs and am 5'7 so I am well over my suggested weigh I would like to get down to 160 again but the thought of getting there scares me!
I have suffered with a depression/anxiety problem for the past 2 years or so and I have finally got that under control enough to where I can now focus on my weigh and I am so confused on how to even start.
If any one here can help me get going I would greatly appreciate it for this would be the greatest gift I could ever get!
Hope to get to know you all!
Hugs
Charity

my ex-husband did the same thing. I think he was afraid that guys would look at me when I lost (he was right) Whenever I see him now, he still is the same, "Haven't you lost enough yet? or Do you wanna go to MacDonald's? My treat. or You don't have to do that.. just sit, I'll take care of it, you don't need to go up all those stairs." *sighs* I don't think he even realizes it.

However, he was extreme, and I hope your hubby is more supportive than that :) Charity, I know you can do this :) You sound strong, excited and motivated - these will get you thru.

*hugs tight* Congrats on your first steps!!!

Welcome to the board, sounds like you have already made a good friend in Mary. She is right "Just Do It" and so is Misha "Just Keep Doing It". I am still here even though I have bounced around the same 10 lbs since April. We can do this, we can do anything we set our minds to because we are all strong women and know how to survive! Best of luck to you!
