The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

[tlo]

Hello all,

My name is Tlo, I have been reading though your forum for a couple days now, and viewing your before and after pics in the Studio, and you all have inspired me beyond words to start Medifast. It is kind of costly, so I have to wait until my next paycheck to actually order the products, but I can't wait to get started. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I have never been morbidly obease, but always just heavier than everyone else around me. I have tried EVERY SINGLE diet out there known to man, and nothing has really worked for me. I feel like I am waisting the best years of my life, shying away from the world because of my weight. I am 27 years old, single, no children, I have my own place, a nice car, and a good job, but I really stay to myself because I feel ashamed of my weight all the time. Everyone tells me I am beatiful, and have such a beautiful face and could even be a model. But when I look in the mirror, I just don't see that beautiful girl, all I see is a fat girl that is smiling on the outside, but really insecure on the inside. I know I should be out enjoying myself now while I don't have many responsibilities, but most of my time, if I am not working is spent hiding in my apartment.

So I am going to try Medifast and pray that this is my answer. I just have a really, really positive feeling that this is going to work this time, and I think with all the support from all the nice people on this forum, I will suceed this time .

Sorry for the lengthy post, but needed to vent a little. But I look forward to getting to know you all better in the future.

You sound SO much like me! All of my friends got tired of having to come to me, I didn't want to go anywhere, I didn't want to DO anything! I wasted too many years! I wouldn't look anyone in the eye, I blended into the wallpaper on purpose. I felt HORRIBLE about myself!

MF has given me back my life! I'm so happy you've decided to join us! Ask us anything you want, we'll be here for you! This is like a family and I wouldn't have gotten through it without the wonderful people (and a couple of sourheads) on this forum!

Welcome!

Oh my gosh, thank you all soooooooooooooo much for thoese encouraging words, I wan't expecting so many responses so soon! You guys are Fantastic!! I wish I had my products so I can start right now today!! I feel so good about this. But when I do start, there's no doubt that you guys will be my shoulder(S) to lean on!!

I know I shouldn't feel the way that I do, but what you feel about your own self is what really matters and is important.
Last time I weighed myself I was somewhere around 185, and I am about 5'4. Doctor says for my ht I should be between 135-140. So I have appx 45 pds to loose. And I am sure I can do it this time!!! Thanks again for you all being so warm & welcoming to me.

Oh, I'm so glad you posted that, tlo. I was a little worried from your first post (people tell you you could be a model, you FEEL big, etc.) that you were actually quite small already and had an eating disorder and shouldn't be dieting.

A belated welcome to the group! This is a wonderful bunch of people, and the site is full of great information. Congrats to you for finding it BEFORE you started on the program!
