Hi All,
My Name is Heather and I am From New Brunswick Canada. I stumbled across your site while searching the internet for some help. I was always a large child, and I have tried dieting before. I am now morbidly obese, and I probably got that way as my own way of rebelling against family and all others who kept telling me I needed to loose weight. Well now I am ready for a change, and this time it's for me and not to please anyone else. I know I will never be "thin" but that's ok.
My worries was I let myself go too far and there was no turning back. I am not 100% sure how to start, especially when I have a hard time finishing groceries because by the time I get to the checkout my back is killing me. So going for long walks is out of the question. So I am feeling a bit trapped, not sure how to start excersising, but I have read some posts on this forum and it has given me some ideas. And of course I will be starting to eat smarter. Not a diet, but smarter eating.
Now I just need to stay motivated...there is my biggest problem, motivation and willpower...I have about 0. So I am hoping to make friends and read other success stories and hopefully someday I will be a success story too. Anyway I have rambled enough, I am glad to be here.
