Hi There,
I just joined today and I am hoping to learn a lot from this forum and all of the wonderful posters here. My whole family is on this "diet" thing so I am glad for this. My sister, mom and I are all overweight. I guess it runs in the family
Anyway... my 10 year High School Reunion is this year, and I desperately want to lose weight and go looking like a knockout! I am afraid of this because in High School I was very thin (Look at my photo album, I uploaded pictures from 10 years ago). I am 5'2 and 200 lbs. The reason for this is because I was on medication for many years that made me gain weight. I let this stop me for many years, but I am done making excuses for my weight. I am also sick and tired of avoiding social events and going to the beach simply because I am ashamed of what I look like. I have not been to the beach in many many years, and when old friends want to hang out...I usually tell me "no" because I dont want them to see me like this (they knew me when I was thin). Its just horrible and I really want to change.
I think when I was skinny, I never really appreciated it because I was always skinny. Now that I am overweight, I believe I will greatly appreciate my new body when I get down to a more normal size. You never know what you have till its gone...the funny thing was when I was 5'2 and 110lbs I thought I was FAT!!! Crazy Stuff.
