Journal entry by Robyn Best —
I am Robyn, and I am obese. I want that to change, I want it all to be different. I dont want to just lose the weight, I want to live a life a healthy life where the weight will not be there. I want to say goodbye for good to the unwanted pounds. By learning to eat healthier, and be more productive.
I am 40, my last weigh in I weighed 406. I told myself I would never allow myself to get over 300, now I am over 400, and I am not ok with that. I love my life. I obviously love food to. But what I have to ask myself is what do I love more. Food which is a temporary pleasure or my life which represent who I am. I want food to be a healthy tool. I want my life to be what I love first.
That is why I am here. I need support I need friends. I cant do this alone. I tried. It gets lonely, and guess what I turn to food for comfort. That isnt working out for me very well. I have 2 teenage kids who mean the world to me. I want them to be proud of me, I want them to see my transition and show them that life is precious and I care. Welcome to my adventure.
