My name is Joanna i am 31 years old i have been overweight my entire life. Have yo yo dieted taken diet pills, done every diet possible the past 8 years. Back in 2004 i lost 100 lbs and have since gained about 70 of that back. Which is one of the most disappointing things i have done in my life to work so hard for something and then not care could kick myself for it. Around 2001 i found the BBW community online and everyone was so accepting i just tried to accept myself for the way i was even tho i was never truly happy about myself. Ive met so many wonderful people in the BBW community Me and two of my best friends started a BBW group that has parties every month and get together hangout and have a great time. We are now going on a BBW cruise in September that has been my motivation that and just tired of not being happy with myself i want to go to the bahamas and feel comfortable in a swimsuit and be healthy and happy.
I am going to my first weight watchers meeting this coming Tuesday so im joining that , ive joined a gym and im ready its going to be a long hard road but i am confident i am going to do this. I would love to meet some new friends for support, advice and if i could meet someone local to workout with that would be great.
