Need Friends on MFP

IAMDAlicious

My Name is Beau Ehresman and I am 18 years old and weigh 368lbs. I need to lose this weight for my health and for me to be comfortable living my life to the fullest. In high school I was not one to back down from a challenge, I ran for student body, was a yearbook editor, president of three clubs, student director and actor in the school drama program and graduated with a 3.5 gpa. Now that I have graduated high school and have been accepted into the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, I worry about my weight limiting me and preventing me from keeping up with other students in classes like dance and stage combat. I believe that I can do this, but I don't think I can do this without supporters and friends to share the journey with. So please add me

Hi Beau! I run a theatre company in South Florida, and I've hired quite a few actors out of AMDA. I completely understand what you mean about the stage combat classes and the dance classes - the program is definitely hardcore ;-). But you can do this! For your health, for your art, for your passion! I've added you, so keep me posted on your progress!
