Hello all, my name is Elizabeth (people call me Liz) and I'm tired of being fat. I have been more or less living in a fantasy type world for years now imagining myself skinny, what I would wear, how I would feel and let me tell you I have so much self esteem, nothing I can't do but unfortunately when I look in the mirror I see the real me and it's depressing to say the least.

I was skinny at one time, well I've never been skinny but at one point in my life I did lose alot of weight (over 70 pounds) and IT FELT GOOD! I kept it off for most of my 20's but situations in life happened though and I put that much back on plus more

I'm in my 30's now (who am I kidding, I'm close to hitting the 40 mark) and last time I weighed which was well over a year, possibly 2 years ago and was at 265. I don't think I'm much more over that now but scared to step foot back on a scale. I weigh more now than I ever have in my life and it scares me that I'll never be able to feel good again.

I found this site and it seems there are a bunch of nice people who are very supportive and thats what I'm looking for. My name I signed up with w_m_l_b stands for...want my life back....that is exactly what I'm hoping to begin, is to live again.

Thank you for reading all of this, it's been building up inside of me with noone to talk to so I spilled it on my first post, not that I couldn't ramble on lol because I have many years of this building up.

Liz

Welcome Liz, good luck with your transformation.
