Third time is the charm!

Hi all, back on MFP for the third time and posting my third introduction here! I was going through what I posted the last two times, and I just realized that my life has always been revolving around my weight, be it at 20, 25 or 30. All my grown-up years has been about my weight, fitting into clothes and fitting into places/ friends groups. The amount of discomfort, embarrassment I have felt over my weight has always outweighed all my accomplishments and success.
I still have a long way to go to fully embracing my body, but still I am much more confident than what I was maybe 10 years or 15 years back. I am starting to realize that no matter what I weigh, there are still going to be good days and bad days. And maybe, losing weight is not going to magically fix all my problems.
This time I am doing this for myself. Doing only the things I enjoy doing, eating the way which I feel does make sense to me and not just to punish my body. Lets see how things work out.
Please friend me if you feel our energies match.
