In College and Struggling with my Weight....

Hello Loves! I am new to this place , ( as you can tell ) and at a standpoint , my title is pretty self explanatory. I am "5,4" , a freshman in college ( Spring semester ) and before all of this , ( just fresh out of high school) , I weighed a solid 107 pounds. I was perfect slim, super tiny and was a perfect size 0... WAS lol. I am a health nut , and i still am might i add. I always watched what i was eating and exercised as much as i could. Anyways, starting off my year of college , fall semester I started gaining weight due to a horrible roommate, and a ton of stress from classes. Now at the time , it didn't really phase me that I gained all that much...... until I stepped on the scale. I was in complete shock! I wanted to die!!!! lol. I found out that i gained at least 30 solid pounds from all of junk food and sweets i shoved into my mouth!! Also lack of exercise too. Since then I have lost some water weight ( about 5 pounds ) but every single day of my college career i have been struggling , and i have not been enjoying myself like i used to. Its like I'm in a body suit, and i look like some chubby stranger when i look into the mirror. People tell me that i look fine, and that i haven't changed a bit ..... BUT all i see is someone else in the mirror. It pains me to be this way.... I am hoping that I will be able to lose at least 22 more pounds to get back to normal. I'm looking forward to the support!
