re: I'm Fat & Need Help

We all have our struggles. You've taken Step 1, which is one of the hardest steps to make. You have admitted you aren't satisfied with yourself, you need help, and you want to change. That's really freaking awesome. Make a commitment to yourself to do better each week, and don't beat yourself up when you have a bad one.

Lots of great advice and support in this thread. I'd start by cutting down on your biggest vice. For example,
if you drink sodas, start with only drinking a few per week. If you snack a lot, only eat a single serving (lunch size) package at a time. Make a noticeable, but measurable change in your habits. Then whittle those vices down to special occasions. Go for a 20 minute walk 3 times per week. Gradually change your habits and lifestyle so you don't burn out or regress after a bit of time. And don't give up or revert when you "fail" yourself every so often. Make yourself proud of who you are and who you want to be.
