How I did it: First, I told myself that I not only have the will to quit smoking, but I have the want to quit. There is a difference when someone says "I need to quit" and "I want to quit." Once you hit the "want" it is so much easier. Sure there are your withdrawls and moments where it would really be great to have one, but once you're there, the will to want to stop is so much greater than the want to have a cigarette. Second, I went to my doctor and… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Paid for a background check and a 24 hour pass over the course of 10 years... I got a hold of his ex wife and spoke with her on the phone and that's where I am now. I have his phone number saved in my phone and hopefully will talk to him soon. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It is the hardest thing in life to feel like you are so different and not know what it is. I was hearing "oh he's so cute" in third grade from my female friends, but in my head I felt "well you're cute to me" and since no other girl said anything like that so I thought it was just me. As I grew up, I noticed more and more that my eyes followed the girls as there's were following the boys. In my household, we didn't talk about being gay or… Read how I did it…

I’ve always been bigger than I was supposed to be, but it wasn’t till after I had my child that my weight stayed to a way above average for me. So it can be really depressing and I understand that it takes hard work, exersize, eating right, and all that… and that I can do. I really can. But it’s the motivation to get to that part that is the hardest, if that makes any sense..
I have a two year old, so it’s not like I can go jogging with her, because she’ll not have a problem keeping up with me, but the other way around lol. I make too many excuses, and I think that’s what’s killing me from really committing to it. I don’t like exersizing alone or in big groups and I just feel uncomfortable.. and I hate it!
But I want to… Within the next year (1 year) I want to drop between 80-100 lbs. I don’t want to lose it too fast and have the extra skin, so I need to do it slower so I don’t have to worry about that happening and then coming up with thousands of dollars for skin removal, eww…
But, anything encouraging would be great and I’ll return it!
It’s hard sometimes even though I have found my father, and I’m not sure if it’s because it’s been these 22 years of my life of things that were unknown to me and things are new, or that I imagined this heartless asshole who didn’t want to stay and raise me and that’s why he left, but yet he is so incredibly nice to me when we talk. I can’t come to tell him all the pain that it caused me growing up and within relationships because he’s such a nice guy to me. He is more than willing to sit down and listen to anything and everything I have to say and he said he deserves a good share of blame. But it is really weird to think about what to say or do because after all these years of not knowing, here’s my chance and it’s like I’ve gone brain dead…
