Hi guys! I have used MFP (and sparkpeople) on and off throughout the years, but my sweet tooth (I love me some ice cream!!) and a terrible work/school/life got in the way. I've never been a healthy weight, but throughout college and Optometry (eye doctor) school my weight went up about 60 lbs.
After working as an Optometrist for about 3 years I realized that it wasnt for me and I am on my way to a new career! I am now taking advantage of some time off to reset my mindset and start a new healthy life!!
I am always looking for new friends, so feel free to add me! My profile and diary are open to friends.:)

Hi! I could have written this post myself, except I'm a teacher not an optometrist. It's so hard juggling work and uni while looking after yourself; It's no wonder people struggle with the daily life kind of stuff!
Good luck with your new career and weightloss journey!2
