Before I actually registered on this board I was lurking around reading a few posts of weightloss before and afters. The stories really motivated me to get off my butt and try to change my life style.
I am 16 years old, I will be seventeen in a couple of days and I've been overweight all of my life. I've always felt isolated in a way and that I wasted my childhood and nearly all of my teenhood being self-consciense, insecure, and antisocial because of my weight.
I think my main obstacle is my mentality. I never start what I finish. I'll start a diet and an exercise routine and then psyche myself out by dreading over how long it'll take to lose all the weight. And, to add a cherry on top of the sundae, I am a compulsive eater.
As of today I weigh 262 pounds. I hope to lose twenty or maybe thirty pounds by the end of January.
