Hello to everyone!

[Cinders]

I can't remember what being thin was like. I have always had problems since I was 6 years old. I was thin at a time, my legs were like bean poles but I can't believe that was me in those photos.

I have hated myself for as long as I can remember. I have been disgusted by myself for just as long. I don't know why I havent sorted myself out, but there is no point in putting energy into regretting things. I need to be more positive.

I have been prescribed Orlistat (xenical) by my GP and i'm hopefully going to start an exercise regime. I am scared about it all. I think that's why I put it off, or that's my excuse. I am ready to put myself in the 'fail' box before I even begin.

I have a lovely supportive fiance that I wont marry until I lose my weight (superficial, right?). I want, I need to get myself sorted and I need some form of support from people who have went through this, people are are going through this.

This seems like a good place to start and I hope I will be able to support others.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you about the boards

Fitting into your dream wedding dress should be some motivation to get out there and exercise and diet! I know it would be for me, at least. Now all I gotta do is find someone willing to marry me, haha. But you're lucky your fiance is supportive.

What kind of exercise do you plan on doing?
What's your diet look like?
How much are you going to lose? By when?

I ask a lot of questions, but answers to those gives people the ability to help you and motivate you throughout your goals.

Welcome and good luck!
