Reached the breaking point.

I posted this in the regular induction forum before but this is the one where i'll be spending most of my time.

I'm not sure if anyone here remembers me from 2005 but i was the one in high school looking to slim down in time for prom. I started at 380 lbs. in January 2005, stopping in September 2005 at 298. From that point on, I have gained, and lost, gained, and lost. I've been around 330 lbs. for the last six months or so. I could have sworn many times I was ready to do this, it was going to happen for sure this time. But after Saturday night, while i was out with my friends, I really reached the breaking point. It's almost as if you know, something inside really screams out at you and all of a sudden you just... do it. I'm so focused and determined to do this and I know now that I have the control over my life by whatever I choose to put in my mouth. I have the control to change my life and make it better, live how i want to live, more healthy and less focus on being overweight. I've been overweight since I was about five years old, so this is all I've known, being a "fat kid". I'm really really excited that I've matured enough to make this decision and know now that when you are content with everything else in your life but want to change things that will affect your future and current state. Today I even woke up early to go to the gym and pushed myself to walk 1.5 miles on the eliptical. I would appreciate any advice and feedback anybody has to offer. I'd like to lose about 140 lbs. I can't wait until the day comes when I go out with my friends and am the guy who all the girls will WANT to be with. I can't wait until shopping for clothes isn't a hastle. I can't wait to not be looked at as a "fat kid". Soon Enough!

Good for you! You sound very determined!

You might want to print out your post -- which sounds SO determined -- and read it every morning. Reinforce the message every day.

Go for it! You can do it.
