This does look fun!
1. Your stats...
Age: 31
Height: 5'5"

Jeans size: 24

2. How tall are you? Do you like your height?
I'm 5'5" and I like it just fine.

4. Your greatest fears about weight loss.
That I'll fail, or I won't like how I look when I reach my GW.

5. Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing this for you?

6. Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.
This may sound crazy, but no, not really. My reason for being overweight is because I often starved myself and then ate my entire day's worth of calories in one sitting, and didn't exercise. I'm changing that.

I haven't really given up anything. There was nothing wrong with most of the things I was eating before: I ate mostly lean protein, didn't drink soda, ate fruits and veggies, and rarely ate fried foods or sweets. The problem was that when I did eat unhealthy things, I went way overboard. Now I factor them into my daily calories.

11. Your favorite weight loss or healthy living blog or website!
MFP!

12. What do you normally eat?
Three meals a day, 2-3 snacks, lots of water. For breakfast I'll have an egg, turkey bacon, and fruit, or oatmeal with apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, cranberries, and pecans.

For dinner, lean protein usually, some kind of starch (like a small baked potato with salsa and sour cream), and a fruit or veggie. Snacks include fruit, almonds, pretzels and hummus, and the occasional cookie.

13. Are you losing weight in a healthy or unhealthy way?
Healthy!

My dad was dying and they were both occupied with that), and there were other things that happened that diminished my desire to be attractive.
