Hey Weight-Loss fitness!

I'm Blac, I'm here after countless days of trying to find a place to call home during my Journey. My journey started about a week ago, and Enough was enough. I had become defeated after trying to lose weight countless times and failing, or not losing any weight though I tried very hard. I had come to the conclusion that I better get comfortable in my weight, I'd be here for the rest of my life. During the Christmas weekend, my very best friend disclosed that my extended family after having not seen me for a while told her, I needed to work on my eating that my weight gain had become frightening. When I stepped on the sale after having been told that I had ballooned up to 275 pounds. Horrified I realized m comfortable eating (whenever I desired), fast food every day, sweets all day, eating everything I could get my hands on feeling like I hadn't gained any weight brought me 25 pounds from a large 300 pounds. Horrified. crying and defeated I realized I needed to stop using the word "Diet" and finally change my lifestyle. I needed to stop thinking I would be overweight my entire life, stop wishing hoping and dreaming of what I could look like, healthy carefree and realize that could be my very existence and reality.

Holding onto a lot of pain from life, childhood and many other hurdles I am learning much more than weight-loss. Instead, how to relieve myself from the native energy that I've used as a security blanket that extended as an excuse for my horrible habits. It's time to put my pain to rest and finally be the person I am truely meant to be within. I dream about it constantly, I hope I can do it, I am 24 years old and know I shouldn't have to spend my life uncomfortable in my own skin. I want so bad to become healthy, comfortable, and able to stare at my own reflection without becoming so immensely disappointing. I came across this site after lurking for a while, I was extremely astounded by the success and how tight knit this forum seemed to be and was absolutely touched and inspired by many of the journals here! It seems like a perfect place for me to begin my journey!

After about a week of dieting and eating healthy foods, dropping the sugar, the starches, the sodas etc switching my diet around eating round 5 times per day I've gone from 275 to 260! I m excited that im doing something that might actually work for me! Prayers are welcome, friends are very very welcomed and support I extend greatly!!!!

Nice to meet you guys! Please don't be a stranger! I'd love to get to know quite a few of you!

If you'd like to stay connected throughout my journey my facebook is on my profile!! I am hoping this is a forever change I just need the strength, motivation and support! <3 <3!

thank you so much!!

Fellow Texan here too! Congrats on your weight loss so far. I was where you are not too long ago. You're going to power through and meet your goals. We're here to motivate, guide and help! You WILL do it this time! Here's to a new you in 2016. Welcome to the forum.
 
Let's chat, I think you just need to understand the role of nutrition sort of like how clogs work and their primary function. This gives you the ability to not change or restrict yourself keeping you balanced. Like so many people its just a lack of nutrition education

Welcome, I'm pretty new here but I am loving it. I am glad you have came to understand it will be a lifestyle change not just a diet. Until recently I was the same way and I am still working on it. I am also about the same weight and have a long way to go. I hope we can see a lot of each other on here. Best wishes on your new journey. YOU CAN DO THIS!!

I already love it here!! Hey there fellow Texan what part? I am in the neck of the woods of Fort Worth! Wow congratulations you said you were where I am right now not too long ago? How are things going? Have things been difficult at all?? I am hoping and praying I can be the person I wanna be by the end of this year and beginning of next year I feel like properly complying to the right eating habits and exercise I can totally do it. Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Do you have a journal? I'd ike to hear your journey thus far!

Hey there! That is something im currently working on. I've been on both ends of the spectrum honestly, where Ive consistently eaten way too much, then ate too little and thought that could help. Right now, Ive been eating 1200 calories and stopped my night eating as much as I can! So far things seems to be working out! I'd love to hear your tips and tricks and your assessment on Nutrition I think it could really help me!

thank yu guys so much for the warm welcome!!

I'm also in Fort Worth area. On the edge of Burleson. I was even heavier than you. Since February of last year I made a huge lifestyle change and haven't looked back, things couldn't be better honestly. I know you'll feel the same just a little down the road this year too! I had a journal, but did not keep up with it too much. I just started a new one. Hope to read your journal and be with you on your journey to the new you!
