Needing Support

Hi, my name is Nettie and I've been on the cc for about a week and love the site. I've been overweight me whole life and am finally taking charge of it. I've been working out 4-5 times a week, cardio and strength training, and I am losing some weight. I wish it would come off faster but I know this is a slow process. I've read many of the other posts and can relate to almost everyone in some way. It seems battleing weight is a universal issue.

I'm not sure if I want to be thin or if I just want to be "normal". I've never been thin and so that's not something I can even let myself imagine, especially since I have to see myself everyday.

Now I'm not putting myself down, in fact, I'm building myself up. This is the first time in my adult that I can remember myself being this weight. I've always been "chubby" and so to actually lose weight is one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

I need support for my eating habits. I know a lot of people struggle with this but I feel like I'm the only one who can't control her portions or eat with in my calorie limits.

How does everyone stay on track?
