This has been my major obstacle in this weight loss journey. I started putting on about 5 pounds a year when I was 13 and I am now 26. I have no clue what it feels like to be at a healthy weight as an adult and it scares me that I may not see that day. I don't know what it is like to wear a swimsuit without a t-shirt and I wonder if I really can make it. I no longer know what it is like to shop anywhere but the pluz size department (I'm a 16/18) and I am really sick of it. Despite it being my greatest obstacle, the idea of being thing is also my greatest motivator. I'm doing my absolute best and fighting my doubts and believing that I can make it.

Thank you all for sharing your success stories...it has really boosted me!
