in Introduce Yourself
I'm 18, from Edmonton AB, Canada, and have been overweight most of my life; sometimes only by a few pounds and sometimes bordering obesity. I've noticed an alarmingly upward trend in my weight since the past few years which coincides with my diagnosis of clinical depression and generalized anxiety. I often look the way that I feel, and I'd like to change that. I'd like to feel more confident in my own body. It starts here.

    Hey! I am 20 (Not too much older than you) and I totally commend you for taking control of your life now. I've always been obese and sent to the nutritionist after weighing myself in front of my doctor. Losing weight really helped me with my confidence and depression. 55 pounds ago I would of never had the courage to put a profile pic up on here! I wish you all the best on your journey, it will be hard but worth it all trust me. Add me if you'd like :)
