I must say I'm having a very difficult time trying to lose weight because I can't shake my eating and drinking habits. I am just starting out in my journey and for the last 2 days I have drank diet soda instead of regular soda. I'm also an emotional eater so I am snacking all the time because I'm bored or sad,mad,sleepy or just because it's food. I need support which is why I joined this site. My current weight is 296 and I'm hoping to lose 96lbs because this is not healthy and I know that. After watching my mom struggle with type 2 diabetes these past couple months it's opened my eyes to what can happen to me. I have a 20 month old daughter and she's heavy set so I'm trying to change for the both of us and my husband is 300 plus pounds. We have a history of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholestorol in our family and I know this has to stop somewhere. Why shouldn't it stop with me? BECAUSE IT SHOULD! I'll need all of your support and even when i reach my goals i want to help support someone else.
