New Dieter from Cincinnati, OH

So I never really thought about dieting before until last year in May. I have always been big in size, but comfortable on the most part. Last May, a week before prom I was trying on my prom dress and much to my dismay I could not fit into it. I was completely devastated and could not stop crying. My father offered to buy a new one ,but I declined. This really opened my eyes that I have to actually have to control my eating and put time in for excercise. So hopefully I'll be ready for prom this year.

I know the feeling...but mine was a wedding dress. Hang in there and make sure that you do it the healthy way-proper eating and exercise. :happy:0
