THIS IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE BEGINNING OF MY LIFE!

Jul 28, 2016

Hello Everyone,

A little about me... I have been heavy all of my life. I have tried everything and I am currently on the medication Contrave to assist with my weight loss. I recently turned 34 and I decided that I have to fight for my life and take it back. I am tired of being out of breath all of the time. I am tired of being overweight. I am tired of using seat belt extensions. I miss riding rollercoasters. My weight has become such a weight on my life and I cannot live like this anymore. I want to be able to have children, I want to be around to leave my mark on this world.  I am sometimes my own worst enemy because just as soon as I do well my clothes start to get loose and I get lazy. As a child, I was the baby out of two and we are 12 years apart. My parents are great people and they worked hard to make sure that they could provide for me. Food became my comfort because at times I was alone. Food was nonjudgemental, it was always there for me. Looking back I know now that I should have taken better care of myself. I should have fought harder to get my weight under control. Now I am 34 and hovering around the 500lb mark. People look at me and would never guess how much I weigh. So when I joined this site today I made a promise. I am going to become accountable not only to myself but to everyone in this community. I am going to write something at least 3-4x per week even if it is two words. I need to be able to start this journey. Tonight I will weigh myself and I am starting my new life.

I am excited and scared. Lets find out which one will win?!
