hiya, I'm Sylvia & I am 22. I have struggled with my weight all my life unfortunately. My freshmen year in high school I weighed 240 pounds and was severely made fun of. I managed to take the weighed off and got down to 170 but in the process I had also developed eating disorders and become unhealthy. I went through a lot of counseling to help me get over my eating disorders but I have never learned to love my body! I have now gained all my weight back and then some and I weigh the most I have ever weighed at 280 pounds. I refuse to reach 300 hundred pounds. I want to lose this wait and keep it off not only for myself and my health but for my future children when I decide to have them. I don't want them to be embarrassed of mommy because she is fat & I want to be able to guide them so they start off on a healthy path and never go through what I go through! But, I know if I do it alone I have a risk of developing eating disorders again! I am looking for friends and support but I'm want to give back and help others if I can. So give me an add & hopefully we can climb this mountain together and come out on top healthier than before.

I realize I made some spelling and grammar mistakes above, as well as putting wait instead of weight at one point but I'm on my phone and so such things are to be expected I apologize.0
