in Introduce Yourself
Quick background: I was always very active and in shape until I went to college in 2010. The combo of stress from school and life led me into five years of binge eating. I ended up putting on 85lbs. Two degrees later, I sought help from a wonderful psychologist and together, I lost 30 of those pounds. However, I had to move back home for a year and quickly fell back into my old habits. I've managed to gain back 21lbs.

However, three days ago I received an acceptance into my top choice for dental school!!! I can't believe it, but this has been my life goal and I'm finally going. But... I know I have to get my eating under control because if I thought I was stressed in undergrad and grad school, I'm going to be in for a rude awakening come August.

Therefore, I have decided to restart today. I'm going to be following what worked well for me in the past with my doctors, so I would really appreciate it if whoever I am friends with on here respects that. I had some friends here in the past who gave me grief because they felt my 1200 cal goal and goal weight were too low. All of my goals were achieved through the work of myself, my psychologist, my nutritionist, and my family doctor!

Anyway, my stats super quick for those who are interested:
Height: 5'1"
CW: 175lbs
BMI: 33.1
SW: 184lbs
GW: 110lbs
Age: 23
Current cal goal: 1360 - will slowly drop it back down to 1200
Mini goal #1: 158lbs (BMI of 29.9)!

Let's be friends!
