I joined FatSecret so that I could begin to take back control over my eating habits and lose weight. A good family friend suggested FatSecret and got me to start a ketogenic diet. I need a community that I can share successes and failures with without feeling judge. I think a good support system can really make a persons weight loss journey more bearable. My end goal is not necessarily a weight, but a feeling. I want more self confidence in myself to take on the world, and losing weight is only a stepping stone to that feeling.
