Hello everyone!

michelangeloproject

Since the beginning of '12, I've been trying vehemently to get on track. I have lost weight in the past, but due to illness (and what comes with illness? medication!), I have been having loads of trouble.

I'm here asking for support, like many of you have already done. I am immensely overweight, and my health depends on it. I just know if I continue like this, I'll wake up one day with another illness. I'm 18 years old, and my knees hurt during physical activity (just an example to give you an idea to where I'm at). I find this outrageous... I'm so young.

I can't live with this food addiction or with my eating habits. I have to change. I figured I'd start here, with the MFP community. I welcome any support or advice, and I will do my best to return the favor.
