Hi and kudos to everyone who is here to do what I am doing!

My name is TabithaJoy, I am 21 and work as a nanny, bartender and full-time student. I live on my own with my kitty, Muki. I love to go out dancing and enjoy any time spent in the sunshine.

For six months I lived with four guys who constantly told me that I was getting chunky since I didn't look like their model girlfriends. It was so difficult for me to eat in front of them so I would starve myself all day and as soon as they would leave the house I would gorge on food until I was sick to my stomach. I also have the pressure of dance--I am weighed in once a month and have been told that I am crossing the line. There is so much pressure on me as a bartender, dancer, and young woman to have the "ideal" body. I am hoping with the help of this site I can reach my goal!
