So I've been on here about a week almost and am just loveing everything about it, I'm 22 ( 23 next month) and am like the rest of you on that long journey to a healthy life / body/ mind. I've been chunky since about 5 th grade when all of a sudden I gained a
lot of weight , I've been picked on through school and had not many friends which made me at the time eat more . At graduation i was 200 pounds at least. I hated myself so after I finished highschool I got down to 170 and was happyer . Was getting in shape , had my first boyfriend , all that fun stuff lol , in 2009 got married and got down to about 160, then he left me and my world crumbled , I went back to eating unhealthy I became depressed and it all snowballed from there untill the summer of 2010 when I met my current boyfriend and felt like maybe I was worth fighting for. So now at 208 pounds I
working my butt off to prove to myself that I can do it and am stronger then I was, and make some supportive friends along the way :)
