When you are not just overweight or chubby....

Being overweight is hard~but being morbidly obese is no picnic either. Unfortunately that is exactly where I was before I decided to change my life. Aside from the obvious health dangers there are alot of difficult things a obese person faces. Normal everyday task such a tying your shoes becomes a chore. Getting up from a chair isnt the easiest thing to do either. Walking across the room is like a workout. Shoppping for clothes is a big expense and very disappointing when you realize there are no cute clothes in your size :cry: You find yourself using baby powder in creases you shouldnt have. You cant fit in seats confortably. Also people can be very hurtful to you in public when you are obese. This list could go on and on but I think my point is there. Being fat is no picnic! I have been over 260 pounds and I know exactly how miserable it can be. I am still on the road to becoming healthy but I am moving forward and never want to go down that road again.

Hey the first step is admitting that there is a problem, the second is doing something which it looks like you are.

Hang in there kid, we all can do this.
