CMechange's Journal, 18 September 2017

I am starting fatsecret today and this site looks very supportive. I am looking forward to the social part of this site as I have avoided people while being overweight. Currently I have terrible self esteem, I am dressing like a slob because I had given up. So here I am starting to crawl out of my bottom. today I will be walking my dog for the first time in weeks as my fitness start. I don't want to pressure myself with distance goals, maybe later, I just want to remember how to enjoy the outdoors and all the beautiful homes and yards in my neighborhood. I am from Minnesota originally and am a navy veteran. The VA has been helping me with the liver disease I have developed from poor eating habits all my life. I do have a chance to improve my health and so I look forward the all the support from my new friends here at fatsecret. My goal is to feel self confident again by meeting my goals and starting to take care of myself with make up clothes and activities that I gave up from being overweight. I know my husband will be thrilled if he sees me feeling happier again. Hello, to all of you! Glad to be here.

Welcome! I enjoy the social aspect of FS as well, although when I found it some 2 or 3 years ago, that didn't exist. I'm from Wisconsin.

Glad to have you here - and I think the VA is stepping up its game... at least for me.

Welcome to fat secret and a change of life; I know exactly how you feel; I have had problems with my weight since I was a teenage and been on one diet or another but sabotage it within less than 6 months. I blame it on my diabetics, but we all know it is me. I am addicted to sugar/chocolate and can not seem to have will power to let it go. My diabetic nutritionist, which I always dread seeing, introduced me to fat secret. Love this tool, even more than my fitness plate. Good luck on your journey and keep posting. It helps!

Plenty of support here and so many are in the same boat. Feels good to have others know exactly what you mean when you describe troubles both diet and social.

Welcome! I have a fatty liver (NASH) from being overweight! I also have early onset Osteaarthritis of my knee and hip and back joints. I felt just like you a month ago. What a difference 30 days and 10 lbs make. I lost 10 lbs in 31st walking my neighborhood. Every joint hurts but no pain no gain..I hope anyway! Best of luck to you! Enjoy those walks!
