How I keep Myself Going

This past November I stepped on the scale at my moms house and almost cried when it told me I weighed 234 lbs I never thought I would get that big with out taking action. when I got home I stood in front the mirror in my bedroom looking at myself and seeing all the weight I had put on that I had turned a blind eye to for far to long.

I was saddened at what I was finely seeing. A 17 1/2 inch neck, 52 inch hips 49 inch waist 28 inch thighs.

how had I not seen this before? I admit I turned to diet pills along with exercise and some will frown on that. But it is what works for me I have exercised before and quit 1-2 months in when there was no change in my size and I did not want to quit again.

I started losing weight right away and and some of my family members joined in on the weight loss with me. I live in the middle of nowhere and far from my family so I started to become lonely and craving praise. wondering what was the point in losing all this weight if there was no one to tell me I looked great or they were proud of me.

I decided that the Internet had the ability to offer me that. So I started a web site called Fat Fighterz United for my friends and family to join and leave me comments and words of encouragement as well as view my pictures as I lost weight so they could see how great I looked. All of a sudden people I had never met started joining my site telling me how great it was that there was a place that was just for encouragement and motivation and how they to would like to share with me there progress and how they were accomplishing there goals.

Now I get plenty of praise as well as give it. I'm no longer feeling lonely and I get to lose weight with a group of people that are fantastic to know. My weight is no longer the center of my attention keeping me sad and I'm still losing weight and doing better every day.

Stress and depression can make losing weight down right impossible so get out of your slump and surround yourself with friends and family that make you feel good about yourself and want nothing but the best for you, and you will find that you start wanting it too.
