Happy new year to everyone! and hopefully this will be a new year for me to!!

About Me- I ma a 23 soon to be 24 female that is tired of the jokes. My mom split when i was 9 and it was a down hill slid from there i got into depression.. lost interest in a lot of things started to eat more.. I am a fountain of infromation of deserts and always have a sweet tooth craving! Unforntually i have been made fun of my whole life for being overweight. I grew up in nebraska were a lot of the kids i went to school with were small delicate people so i stuck out. My family is more norwegian then anything so although i know i am going to be a bit big... it's gotten a little out of hand.

Recently i moved to Georgia to be with my soon to be hubby and it hit me just how bad i was. I went cloths shopping down there and almost couldnt find a thing to wear! I am tired of not being able to shop like normal people.. i am tired of the family cracking jokes about me. In a lil over a year i'll be walking down the aisle and i want to be proud of the way i look and not hide.

So i am hoping that with this i can meet people talk to them and get a move on. I wanna show the world a penguin is cute no matter what. :)

    Go you! That's rotten of your family to pick on you....the silver lining is it gives you that much more motivation. Feel free to friend me and bon voyage!
  • Kudos to you for making such an important decision! There are lots and LOTS of people on here to support you, including me! I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska for 3 years, so I know exactly what you mean. I just joined this site on December 20th and am hoping to lose 49 lbs. You can do it!!
  • Yea for some reason Nebraska is that odd state that if you look like you eat at all they shun you! I was tired of being that kid that never got asked to dances or things cuz of how i look. So i am going to show them and so thankfull i have people to support me. :)
