[I am not fat, I am fluffy]

Hello, I am fat.

I have made every excuse known to man as to why I am fat. In 2003 I was 110 LBS. I wore a size 2, sometimes smaller. I am now 167 LBS and I am fat.

I hate how I look, I am tired all the times and I cry about my body at times. I have been single for along time and in my head I believe its because I am fat. I don't have a good support system and need help.

I have set my start date for October 4th.

I just bought the book yesterday and am reading it and getting ideas for what to eat my first week. I hear this works and will get you into good habits. I am not sure how long it will take to loose 50 lbs but one of the ladies I know lost 25 lbs in about 3 months so I am hoping. Begging this will work because trying other methods have not worked.

Please any help, tips, ideas or success stories will help. I am not really sure how to start yet but I assume over the next few days of reading I will figure it out. How much can I expect to loose in the first week? I assume about 3LBS?

I need friends along the way...
