Cant Do it Alone

I am not exactly one hundred precent sure how I should begin this. I guess I am just going to jump out there and say what this is for. I am over weight. I dont know exactly how much I weigh, but I do know that I am 5'4" and I wear a size 16 pants. I have gained a dress size a year since I graduated from college and moved away from home, and I wasnt exactly skinny in college. I am now to the point where I think a doctor would clasify me as obease and thats a really depressing fact. I think today I hit rock bottom, when my best friend was looking at pictures I posted from a weekend event on facebook and she sent me a message (we havnt seen each other in a year cause she lives in Germany) saying she was worried about me cause of how much weight I have gained. And its true, and it depresses me. But I have never had the courage to do something about it. Because if I dont try, then I cant fail. Plus dieting and exercizing is hard, and its hard to do alone, (not to mention expensive, which is another reason why I have not been as dilagent as I should be). Yet at the same time I know I am not alone, I know there are plenty of people in the same or well sameish situation as I am. So I decided, to start a blog, with one purpose in mind. To loose weight, to keep myself accountable to loosing weight, and to hopefully inspire other people to go out and get healty as well. And I am trying to get healty, not to get to a size 2 and be anerexic, but to be healty.
