Did you ever feel like you're too large to really live your life? Like your size has kept you from belonging and enjoying because of how large you are?
I have. I have been atleast 300lbs since I was 12 years old. 16 years later-at 28 years old- I now weigh in at 398lbs. I have never been what one considers to be thin. I have always felt like I'm peering over the wall of my fat at the world. I've tried to fix this in the past, but it just hasn't worked...oh who am I kidding...I never really stuck with it. Instead I'd settle in with some ice cream and the latest in quality television.
So why now? What changed? In the past month my heart has sped up alarmingly. I got refered to a cardiologist who looked at me point blank and said that if I continue at the weight I am, I'm dead. Luckily there is no current damage to my heart but if I don't get the weight off, the doctor estimated I have 6-10 years left. Six to ten years left at only 28 years old.
I'm starting this thread because there's no way I can do this alone. I believe that if I can't do this alone, maybe you can't do it alone either. Maybe, just maybe, we can be there for each other and pull each other through this. I'm willing to try and make the attempt to finally live...are you?
