skinny girl inside screaming to be hear

hello i am new to the weight loss forum. i am a single mother of the most adorable 5 month old baby girl. she is my world. my greatest fear is that my obesity will keep me from finding a good man to be in her everyday life. her father is present but not in the home nor are we together anymore. i know in a perfect world the perfect man would see that i am an intelligent, financial independent, witty, funny, girl with a great personality & pretty face and fall madly in love with me. but lets get real we are all shallow to some extent.

i have a long road ahead of me: i weighed myself 3 wks ago and i came in at 310lbs.......4 lbs more than when i gave birth in aug. can you believe it. i have since lost 7 lbs. to quote one of the couples from the biggest loser i want to lose weight before my daughter realizes i am fat.

thanks for reading my thoughts

Fair call. I was 330ish when i started, and i wanted to loose it because i was worried i wouldnt live until the kids left home. Guys definatly digg you more when you are slim i tell you also lol.

as for the kids, well i never knew the kids were getting hassles at school about my weight until i lost it and one blurted out once 'oh its so cool now, nobody makes fun of our mum because shes fat anymore!' :O

Good luck with your endevour!

inspiring

yours pics where nothing short of inspiring. reading some of the stories of the "fat girls" weighing in at 150 saying they desperately want to get to 110 just are difficult to relate to. not that they dont belong here too. because hey we all need to be encouraged. is's just that 150 would be a healthy bmi weight for me and i would be estatic to weigh that. thanks again for your reply.
