Hi, my name is Crystal and I have been a member for a while but fell off track for a while with a lot of bad things going on in life. I have picked myself up, dusted off and started again after getting very sick and having the doctors tell me how obese I was. I refuse to buy anymore clothes in the size I was wearing so I figured I needed to do something or go naked. And on top of that I am a dancer and it hurts to hear "well your a dancer, you shouldn't have weight problems". Just because I dance doesn't mean I don't enjoy to eat, but being in an abusive relationship for a long time and always being told harsh things you begin to not care anymore. I'm done not caring, I want to be happy and healthy and I want to feel good! Anyway I am on my way to being healthier and happier! I am already 14 pounds down and feel amazing! Thanks for listening and feel free to add me for mutual support and friendship! :)

  • Nice work! You are doing a great job so far! I'm just starting my journey myself. Feel free to friend me for support!
    Dont want to be too personal but I have a friend who is going through a divorce due to an abusive relationship and she is dealing with her own self worth problems, so I've seen what it can be like. Having had a bit of emotional abuse growing up I get it too. And am dealing with my own self confidence issues. All I can say is, by looking at your profile pic, you are beautiful now and I'm sure only even more when you get to your goal!

    Cheers,

    Hi,
    My name is Amanda. I am new here too. Bad relationships can take their toll on anyone's figure, so don't feel bad. You were able to shake him off, so now it's time to focus on you! Feel free to add me I'm new and always looking for new friends. Don't let previous jerks get you down. You can do anything you put your mind to.:happy:
