I have struggled with my weight since as long as I can remember and now.....it's really really getting to me. I am only 26 Yrs old and I weigh 293 lbs. Everything I do now is a chore. Walking up the stairs. Taking the dogs out. Showering :-(. Being seen in public. everything...and now I am starting to feel it that much more. My legs hurt all the time. I am depressed. Always scared of different pains and what it means for me. Scared of getting diabetes. I can't afford to live the life of a crippled and I also feel like I can't afford to live the life of a healthy person.
I can't find motivation anywhere...no matter how hard I try. I go to sleep saying...tomorrow I WILL DO IT. I WILL START WALKING. I WILL START FOLLOWING THIS SITE SINCE DISCOVERING IT 3 YEARS AGO!But...I never do. I need help. I need help before I literally die of fatness.
I know that some things in my life are holding me back. I am in a relationship that hasn't gone anywhere for 2.5 yrs. I can't find a job. I haven't seen my family in forever and I am always broke. Broke because I eat so much. Fast food and buffets is a normal thing for me. I just want to be happy and hopefully I will be able to do that. I guess this is my first step. Lol....actually posting on the site. Getting involved with the community. Only time will tell.

Being over weight is hard! After having kids I got huge!! I have lost 20 lbs so far and couldn't be more motivated. The getting going is the hard part, but once you start to see results you can't get enough! Keep you chin up and your attitude positive I believe you can do it:)

Hi, I'm new too, your story is so negative, tell me about you, what are the things that make you feel good, these are what will help us all through if we focus on them.

I'll begin, yes I'm fat and I hate that but I'm also funny, intelligent and I can be a great friend, I'm going to focus on that and make that great girl thin and fit too. How about you?
