Hello Everyone!

I am 22 and looking to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle in Omaha, Nebraska.

I have always struggled with overindulging in food ever since I was a kid. In high school, I got to a point where I was overweight and very uncomfortable about it. It was around that time when I also found myself battling a drug addiction. I lost a ton of weight in a very unhealthy manor and was dangerously underweight. I was admitted to a treatment facility in 2010 and have been clean and sober ever since.

However, since getting clean I have put all the weight back on. I am desperately trying to lose the weight the correct way by placing the most emphasis on just living a healthy lifestyle. I recently quit smoking cigarettes in hopes that it would make exercise easier for me, but I still loathe it. I have never been successful at sticking to a program like this before, but I have also never participated in this type of a support community.

I would love to hear any advice that you all might have and I hope that I may be able to return the favor and provide support as well

THANK YOU!!!
