Hello :]
I'm Heather and I'm 21 years old.
I've joined this community because I've always heard that having a support group is one of the best things you can do when you decide to lose weight. So I hope that I can gain support here. We're all here to become healthy and lose weight, right? Right now I've unfortunately reached my biggest ever. I'm 330 pounds. I never thought that I would get this big. I thought 260 pounds was bad enough .....
I'm a little confused as to how to go about this. Maybe more scared than confused. I used to always think that I could find an easy way out to losing weight - that the diet pills were magic, and that the exercise equipment would change me overnight. Sadly, anything worth obtaining is never easy. I believe that I have to get my mind right before I can get my body right - and its such a challenge. America has become the most overweight country ... You know how people always post success stories - about how there was something in their life that just triggered them to get up one day, bust their butt, and change their life. Why can't that happen to everyone? If we all had that "click", I'm sure we would be in a much happier place. The best thing I've ever heard - exercise is hard work that gets easier with time.
.......Here goes nothing.
