I completely understand how you feel. I joined here a week ago today...I'm going to give it my best effort, but the underlying fear of failing [again] is still there. All I can offer you right now is: You're not alone!!

I hope you are feeling more confident now that it's a few days later. I added you as a friend. I would love to go through this journey as friends with you. I have 200 lbs to go. I've lost 25 so far. Sparkpeople has so many ways to find support for whatever you are facing. It has been so nice to make friends here.

I am the same way. I have a real problem of putting everyone before myself, so when it comes to taking care of me its usually not even made it to the stove to be put on the back burner.

You can do this! Baby6 steps, one day at a time and before long it will feel more natural :-) You have all the support you need-all you have to do is ask

You can do it--there is tons of support here!! Look for friends on Sparkteams. (find things you're intersted in by searching for Sparkteams) I added you as a friend!!
DOTTYDRUID9/16/2010 5:53:00 PM
Dont be scared! we all go thru that at some point. Work one day at a time, taking small steps, as few or as many as YOU wish. If you need help, just ask, and I'm sure anyone will help if they can. Please call on me if you like and leave a comment on my spark page and I'll help if I can. I'll add you as a friend, if thats ok. Jane

You will do fine, this is something new and you don't know what to expect. Just put one foot in front of the other, and repeat. Brie

A Tad Frightened
29 I'm a tad scared to lose all the weight, as i've been chubby my whole life...
This week I stuck to my goals. No Diet Coke or Fast Food. I also did not eat in the car. I went to the doctor at the first of the week. She said I had high blood pressure, then another doctor said something about skin cancer under my eye!
MORE INFORMATION:
so my secret is go to the doctor! They scared me into eating right.
