Hi Everyone! I'm so glad I found this site! What a great source of support and encouragement. A little about myself: I'm 45 years old and used to be quite a fitness fanatic. Well, that was back in my 20's, actually! I had two kids and then focused on my career for a while. Which leaves me at my current weight of around...this is embarrassing...250 lbs. or so at 5'6"!!!
Doctors telling me I'm obese, breathlessness, tiredness, etc. There's a Garth Brooks song entitled "I'm Much Too Young to Feel This Damn Old" (I'm not much of a country music fan, but this title sums it up for me!). I'd like to maybe start dating again. I have social anxiety disorder and take meds. I KNOW that being so fat also really affects my self-confidence! I basically have NO social life, and spend too much time alone at home eating. Today I feel really depressed and lonely.
Well, this is my 2nd day of the induction. I'm also getting out and walking each day. I know it will take a long time, but I'd like to lose 100 lbs. and weigh 150; that's not too much to ask, is it?
I'm definately motivated now, so thanks for being here and I'll look forward to posting here.
