Starting to think.....

I am starting to think about doing some major changes in my life. I am a BBW and need to think about my life and how I want to live. I am looking into the South Beach Diet and I am looking into joining the local YMCA. But I also know that I will need help from friends or even strangers. I just can't do this on my own. I feel like I am on my own for way too many things and that I don't have friends to rely on when I need them.
