Ht. 5'3", Start: 165 lb, Today: 165 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 130 lb - I feel like I've been overweight my whole life. I know that it's become a problem and I need to get it under control, but for some reason I don't believe I can do it. It sounds odd, but I can't picture myself ever being at a healthy weight. Being overweight is all I can remember, so I continue my bad eating habits in hopes of sustaining my weight. I am a social eater and I eat when I'm bored, so it seems like there is no way to avoid my food problem. I've laid out nutrition plans for myself, but its like my mind won't let me believe that I will lose weight by sticking to them. I've lost 5 or 10 pounds at a time, but always gain it all back, so I can't picture experiencing real, visible results.

You can do it Erica! I have been overweight most of my life and I never thought I could lose so much weight but I have. It is possible and it's so worth it!
