HI :) My name is Chris and I am 33 years old. I am 5'6" and 190 lbs. I am beginning to dis-like myself because of my weight. In high school I was on the swim team, soccer team, and played safety on the football team. I was full of confidence and had no problem getting the girl I wanted. Now it seems that my blue eyes and baby face won't cut it with a double chin. I am happily married to my HS sweetheart but I miss the confidence of going out and flirting and mingling. I want to be able to hold my chin up, one chin, and know that I look good. I am sorry if this sounds shallow but I feel lost. :(

Thanks for the kind words. I believe in having a sense of humor. I know that I can't do this on my own. I turned to this forum to find support and friends. I hope that I am succesful. Did I mention that I want to be limber for uh, uh ......nevermind :D
 
Hey Barratt~ welcome to the forum... once you get a diet and excercise routine in order, you'll be holding your single chin way up high!
 
Hi there! I'm glad you found us!! You seem like your going to be a nice addition to our already wonderful forum!

Good luck Barratt, and let us know if we can help you!!

Ps...You'll probably want to start a diary (or journal as men like to say, lol)
 
Hi Chris! Welcome to the site! Good luck on your weight loss goals! I can relate to what you say about starting to dislike yourself because of the weight you've put on. I recently put on 20 lbs and I don't even want to go out in public anymore because I am too embarrased. However, I DO go out and mostly try to get out of my own head and reach out to others. I have been trying to stop focusing on the weight gain and more on losing and how to make myself healthier at the same time. That's so cool you married your high school sweetheart. How long have you been married???? I miss the days of going out dancing and feeling good about myself. I want to cover up now, which I never really worried about before. Hope you get lots of support here! Love, Julia

Its actually a pretty cool story.....We 'went together' all of 8th grade then she moved to Virginia. We stayed in touch for about a year then lost touch. 3 years later I was in the mall with a buddy and we just happened to cut through a store I have never been in before. There she was!!!! My jaw hit the floor. She just moved backed to town to live with her dad and was trying as hard as she could to get a hold of me. She cried when she hugged me for the first time. That was in 91 and we got married in 98.
 
That is too weird that you mentioned 'Dickey-do'! I just read that in a book and it cracked me up. My hubby has suffered from that since before we met! I sure wish he'd do something about it. Good luck and keep posting!
 
Welcome, it's a big step signing up for this forum, you are now on your way. You seem like a great guy and I wish you all the luck in the world with your dicky-do. And Kc I thinks it's what's "a" dicky do, I think, or this is way above my head of sexual inuendo.(I think I spelled that wrong :D )Oh boy, I'm tired :p

LMAO, Thats too funny I will never forget what Dickey-do is again. Welcome to the forum its great to have another new face around here. That story was just so sweet about how you and your found eachother again and then got married its like a sweet sappy romance novel...dont worry thats good I love those. Anyway good luck to you on your journey to lose weight. You picked a great place to come for tons of motivation.
 
Thanks for answearing my question....lol....my fiance doesnt suffer from that yet....although at times he looks like he is about to cross that border.....a little more taco bell and he WILL be swimming his way across to "dickey do" territory.......But I dont care I still love him anyways!! No matter what side of the border he's on!!!!!!
