Hello Everyone.

I'm new to this site, and as much as I'd love to tell you this exciting story about how I've traveled the world, and had eatten all this wonderful food..and ended up gaining 100lbs, I can't.

I gained about 130lbs after my eight year relationship ended. Prior to that, I was 135lbs. Basicly, I ended up with two of me in one body.
I tried to diet, but I think it made me gain more weight when I'd cave in, and eat. I, like so many others, was looking for a quick fix. Tragic really. So recently, I stopped smoking, and said to myself, well, if I can stop smoking, then I know I can lose weight. And this is where my adventure begins. Wish me luck!!!!

That sounds wonderful Missy. I truly believe you cannot have too many people supporting you, or in your corner. Thank you for your very warm and thoughtful welcome.
Lady Jami.

Thank you Widdles for your warm welcome and kind words. As with any addiction, it's tough to break. I think food is an addiction as well. It's so easy to just go grab something and eat it, and I turned to food foolishly to fill an empty void.
Now, I have people stare at me, or make rude comments, and I think it made me eat more. However, I could care less what anyone thinks about my weight. I am going to be a "Loser" because it's what I want to do, not because they teased me, and called a "Fat Girl". I look forward to losing right along with you.
Congrats on your 14lbs Loss.

Hi Lady Jami, Welcome! Quitting smoking is tough! I decided to battle my weight first and then smoking will come next. Everytime I have tried to quit, I have gained weight, and when I tried to do both at the same time, I am so unbearable to be around, that I can't even stand myself. So, I am taking baby steps, pep talking myself into the changes and goals that I have set in order to be the person that I always knew I could be.
