Hi everyone,

My name is Mikey, and I'm tired of feeling so unhealthy. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. But it's time to make a change. It's time to get healthy!

Right now, I'm 19 years old, and I weigh somewhere between 320 and 340 lbs. It's hard for me to even write this post out, because I always try to act like it's not a big deal. I've tried losing weight before, only to give up within days.

I'm hoping however, that this time having what I didn't have last time will help me stick with it.

Support.

I always try to avoid it, but today I had a conversation with my mom after I found this website (i live at home, lame right? haha.) and I'm really hoping that with my family behind me, and this forum for addtional support, that I can really get over this hurdle in my life.

It's not only embarassing, but it's also dangerous and unhealthy. I need to fix this problem. I know it won't happen overnight, but I have to start somewhere.

Whenever I have a day like this one, where I want to change myself, I pretty much abandon all hope the next day. I'm hoping that I can get some advice so that I can start out small tomorrow morning (even though it's late at night and I might not get any, haha.) I guess I'll go start my journal now, cause I'm starting to ramble a little too much for an introduction thread. Hope to see you there. :3
 
Welcome! This is a great bunch of people and you CAN do it. Set some goals for yourself and make them attainable. It took 19 years to put the weight on, so don't put so much pressure on yourself that it freaks you out if it doesn't just drop right off. There is a lot of support here for you.
 
congrats first of all on making the decision to start this lifestyle change for a better future for yourself. The best advice i can give you is to set your self some goals that are easy to reach and maybe some time of reward for reaching those goals.
