I joined here about a year and a half ago, and it was an ultimate fail! I can't even recall the login I had, so that shows how "important" I made my goal to lose weight and get in shape.

Lots of people look at me and think I don't "need" to lose weight, because I am of a very small stature, but the truth is people who are 5'2" shouldn't weigh 145 lbs. (in fact, admitting that publicly is taking a LOT out of me.. ) Its so easy to wear a baggy sweatshirt and tight jeans and pretend you weigh a lot less. But we all have to take our clothes off to shower and see ourselves in the mirror, right? So I'm doing this for ME. I love life and don't want to turn into a self-hater.

I perform in public frequently (I am a musician, singer, songwriter) and I can't even name how many videos and pictures of my performances get hidden away because all I see (or hear) in them is that I need to lose weight.

Last time I did not reach out to anyone and kept my profile private. So, this time I want to remain active and seek inspiration from other members.

Help me out!! I need to stay positive. And I need people to tell it to me straight if I start slacking!
