Hi!

I'm a Graphic Designer from Calgary, Canada.
I have always had a low self confidence.
My mother has been terminally ill for most of my life. When I was in school she was in the hospital or I was home taking care of her. Unfortunately she did the best she could ( Which was a lot mind you,) and the taught me a lot about being unique. She was always their to make me feel better. I was badly bullied in school for my looks and my overweight appearance. In Grade 7-8 I was 187 lbs.

High School brought more weight ( until grade ten, when I started smoking pot, ironically) and more bullying. Eventually the friends I had motivated me to be a stronger person and I started standing up for myself. The weight started to fall off, I partied A LOT and lost more weight. etc etc etc. ( Not safely...at all)

I'm 22 years old now. Happily in love, tattooed from head too toe, but I still have a crap self esteem. I still get acne like no tomorrow which makes my appearance feel crummy. I still have a muffin top ( Now at 140lbs ) and my swimmer legs ( I swam for almost 5 years, was going to be a lifeguard but met a boy...ahaha..) are starting to become fat rolls. Considering their are no lakes in Alberta and I'm from a small town in Ontario that has 3 encircling it.

Ive joined MyFitnessPal because Ive honestly never really looked at the food Ive been putting into my body. Ive got on starvation diets, Ive done the throwing up thing, Ive tried shakes and miracle pills. Nothing works. So maybe if I start watching what I'm eating, it'll make a difference? Who Knows? I'm willing to try.

I am actually quiet active too! Though I need to work on that.


All in all I'm hoping to meet some cool people and start feeling better about myself! Yay!

    Your picture looks great to me honestly. Anyway, I'm 22, also tattooed, love exercising, and finally down to a healthy BMI and trying to lose the last 2kg (.....and last 10% or so of body fat which is what I care about more than scale weight at this point).

    Feel free to add me if you want.
