Time for a change

I'm fat. I have been fat for as long as I can remember. I'm not happy about it, but I deal. I have to, it's my way of life. But, I'm now TOO fat. I guess you can say anything is too fat, 20 pounds overweight, 50 pounds overweight, 200 pounds overweight. Unfortunately I'm closer to option number 3. I hate it. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of not being able to play with my kids like they deserve. I'm tired of the disgusting looks I get. I'm tired of, at 34, STILL being made fun of. I'm tired of it all. I want to be normal, whatever that is. I want to be able to walk and not be hurting after 2 minutes. I want to be able to walk into ANY store and buy something and have it fit. I don't want my kids to be embarrassed by me. I want to be able to have an active life, a career, I want to live past 50. I want to live to see my kids grow up and have families of their own. I want to play with my grand babies. I just want to live, and living under 200 or so extra pounds is not living. It's existing. I don't want to just exist. I want to live. I want to live...So I am asking you, yes, YOU, to help me. Help me make better choices if I am out to lunch with you. Get me walking. Get me moving. Hold me accountable. I can't do this alone. I need your help.

    Dawn, I am praying for your journey and I KNOW you can do this. You will feel so much better when you get going. Once a few pounds come off, you will get into motion.

    I believe in you!

    Thank you Dawn. I'm in the same boat. I need help too. It's amazing how many things you and I have in common. I will so walk with you. Set up a time and we can walk. Get some good walking shoes. I know you're busy with school and kids and life, but we'll work it in somewhere.
