Hello everyone and thank goodness for a forum and support group such as the one I have found here.
Ever think that your goals are out of reach? Or maybe if you just tried hard enough, your goals WILL be attainable,? Maybe you just don't seem to be trying hard enough. Maybe you're lazy. Maybe you just don't want it BAD enough. Maybe you're a quitter.
I went to college right out of high school but never finished. I never met my goal, even though I knew I was smart enough. I went back to college for the last time in 2009 (the fifth and last time) and finally graduated in March of this year with my Bachelor's degree.
Some of you are probably thinking, what's the big deal? A lot of people go to college to get their undergraduate degree. Yes, but how many of them are 45 years old, have two special needs children (one in a residential care facility for behavior problems until December), are in a gay relationship with someone 15 years their junior, has clinical depression...anyway.
I searched through every forum to find which one fit me just right and I began to feel like I had DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder). LGBT? SoCal? Vertically Challenged? Parent? Grandparent? I lost count. I guess it doesn't matter what I identify with as long as I get the support I need and in return give the support others may need. Oh wait, let's not forget the fact that I am OVER 100 lbs above a healthy weight!
I'm just venting and spilling my guts. The bottom line is, I need to lose this GD weight once and for all. I'm sick and tired of putting my life on hold, eating healthy for weeks, walking every night , losing 10 lbs and having it stay there. I need a jump start. For those of you that are reading this, I hope I didn't bring you down. This is my starting point and I need to be honest with myself and anyone else reading this if I'm going to succeed.
