Hello all,
Today is the day. It has been almost two years since I gave up on myself. I lost control and turned to food as a coping mechanism. I am going to turn 20 years old soon, in a couple of months and my goal is to get rid of the 40 extra lbs. that I have been hauling around for the past two years.
What motivated me to make this change? I don't feel comfortable in own skin. It is not even solely about appearance and cosmetic reasons.
I have heard great things about the myfitnesspal community! I am here to offer my support and encouragement and hope to find that in return. We can do it.
Let the shredding begin!
Best wishes,
Jenn

Hello & Welcome to MFP!
I think reaching out to a community is a great first step.
Being comfortable in one's own skin is a challenging thing because everyone is a little different as to why they are 'uncomfortable in one's own skin.' I sincerely hope you can find what you are looking for.
Best of luck to you!0 -
