Hello everybody

[Timeless]

I am ashamed of my weight gain. I have never been one of those people who could say " I'm fat. I'm not going to change. Too bad for you if you don't like me fat." Most of us know people like that and that are happy being fat. But I didn't pick up that carefree gene.

I can't believe that is a picture of me just a short 4 years ago. I am going on one of the many principles of Tony Robbins which is to envision yourself at your best; therefore, what I posted is a picture I can live with.

I don't want to bore you will all the details of aftershocks of my husbands affair, etc... but I did want to say that I have some major weight to loose this year as I get fit. I will be divorced in a month and starting off on my new life of being single, fit and happy.

Discipline will be a big part of it and I hope to befriend many struggling just like myself.

Hey, I know you posted this a few days ago, but you said you wanted to befriend other people struggling with weight loss... so here I am! It sounds like you've got a lot of stress you're dealing with in your life right now. I'm 18 (almost 19) so I don't know anything about marriage, but I have the same goal as you: to become fit and happy this year.

I am also not the type of girl who can say "Here I am, I don't care what you think of me!" I wish I was. But I've always been self conscious, very aware of other peoples' opinions. I think it's important, however, to never think that you're losing weight for someone else. I want to lose weight because I want to feel comfortable and happy with myself and my body.

Anyway, we are starting this journey at the same time. Much love and good luck <3
