I'm new to this forum, but it really helps when there's people facing the same challenges as yourself. It's hard for me to turn to people in my life to talk to or to relate to because they don't necessarily understand.
I have always been concerned with my weight and had an issue with it. I have tried in past making changes, but I just get discourage when it doesn't just melt off. I do have some self esteem issues. I made a ticker today based on my weight and I made a small goal to start off then I plan on going from there.
