The beginning... 1 April 2011
It's not pretty... but it's where I'm at. I feel really bad about my weight and it's an embarrassment to me. It's not fun to have people judge or make assumptions about who you are because you're obese. I won't go into the reasons right now why I'm this heavy; perhaps at some point, I'll share that. For now, I would just really appreciate positive support for taking the steps to start living a healthier life.
