Hello all,

I just started the change to my life today. I recently went for a physical and found that my weight has ballooned to about 300 lbs. I used to be in good shape, exercising and running 5 miles a day three days a week and working out the other days but an injury to my knee stopped me from being able to run anymore. I slowly began to cut back on my other exercising as well and have found myself out of control with my eating. I really want to shed this fat I have accumulated over the last few years and find that the harder I try it seems the more difficult it is. I've reached a point in my life at 44 years old where I can't stand to even look at myself in the mirror anymore because I am so disgusted with me. It has become an ugly cycle where the more I can't stand it, the more I seem to eat. I hope I can find support from others on here and want to make a change in my life. I'm tired of this lifestyle and know that if I continue with it, I will die an early death. I just want to be healthy and not be overweight any longer. So that's where I am in my life, a depressed fat person who really wants to make a big change in their life before it's too late.
Thanks for reading my rant and I hope to hear from you all with some good ideas.
