Well, I’m just like every other overweight person out there who’s trying to peel off the fat suit. I mean, I’ve been wearing the damn thing for so long that I swear it’s sprouted roots!

I’m more than 100lbs overweight - yep, I’m classed as being obese. Just figured I better get that out of the way right off the bat so no one thinks I’m some runway model or something who’s just trying to mess with people’s heads.

I don’t believe in diets, dieting, or even the word itself. As far as I’m concerned, “diet” - when used to discuss weight loss - is a four-letter word I want to teach people how to forget. Researchers have proven that diets don’t work (it only took them 30 some-odd years to figure out what us rolie-polies already knew), so there’s no point in trying to work with something that’s useless.

I want people to enjoy coming here. I want to make this place fun, informative, helpful, and uplifting. I want people to cry together, laugh together, fight the battle of the bulge together, and just generally come together as a rolie-polie society and help each other peel off the fat suits.

Well, that’s about it. I’m just a work in progress like all the other rolie-polies out there. I can’t really think of anything more to add.
