Hello everybody. Wow, there is SO MUCH information and so many people posting on this site, it is almost overwhelming! no way I could possibly read everything before I said hi, so here I am with both feet jumping in!

Being "out" in public is a huge step for me as I have been hiding myself away for several years now as I grow ever larger. I am an all or nothing kind of person, so I am publicly journalling my way back to health, and am in search of people who 'understand' for support.

I am so amazed at the sheer numbers of people here. I really had no idea! Social ME is jumping for joy at all the new friends! :hurray:

I will first off welcome you! Second I think the best thing is make a diary and post in other diarys to see what people are doing in there every day life with the weight loss and working out! In my sig is a link to mine if you want to see what I'm talking about!
 
Thanks Danny

Hi Danny
Thanks so much for the welcome and the advice! I am already journalling on my website every day, so I don't know if I need a diary here as well. Mostly I was just hoping for some stories to read and some friends to talk things through with.

I (like so many people here I suspect) battle depression daily. It's nice to see people support one another. Is there really that kind of support here? Or is it just a whole lot of people focussed on their own situation and hoping for support from others? LOL

:nopity: Can you tell today's a depressed day? :sigh:

Well I did read your diary and congratulations on your goal. I've been up and down for years, but the past 4 years have been up, up, up and the last year... an explosion. 30 pounds in the past year alone. I am quite embarrassed actually.

Anyway, Thanks for the helpful words Danny. I'm excited to follow your journey and cheer you along! :)

Hi Diva!

Yep, very social myself, so I understand your attraction to this board. It seems very supportive, and many of the stories are so inspirational. I like that we can talk about daily life stuff as well. Because it all factors in, doesn't it?

And I understand wanting to hide away sometimes. Unfortunately with my job I'm around folks all the time. I've felt so embarrassed with my weight gain. I shudder when my picture is taken, and trust me, as a theatre person, I am usually a HAM in front of a camera, lol. No more.

But hey, let's be depressed and inspired and ultimately jubilant together! I'd be happy to read your journal, too.

Hi Colleen!

Oh thanks for the welcome. I SO love your beautiful red hair. It is a match for you absolutely!
You are a very beautiful person (in front of the camera and I bet inside too!) but I can relate to the 'no ham in front of the camera' action!

Sometimes I wish I had a job that took me out of the house. I would NEVER have let myself get to this condition if I had to see people every day! (I don't think so anyway but who really knows). My biggest issue is that I am immobile... I literally sit with the computer on my lap from 8 or 9 AM until 10:30 or 11 PM. (WOW that looks gross seeing it written down like that!) I am obsessive ... it's no different than the way a lot of people are with their Blackberry.... it's just harder to walk around and work or surf with a lap top! LOL

Anyway... I am starting to get somewhat excited about having people to walk with .... :)

Many Blessings,
Diva
