Newbie... (:

Hi everyone. My name is Constance. I am 21 years old. I am new to this site. So far, I like it. I have never actually been able to keep up with all of my activities but I can on here for some reason. (: I joined this site because I wanted to get a good start on trying to lose weight to make myself healthier. I used to be healthy but then I got into a bad wreck that broke my pelvic bone and I had to learn how to walk again but before I could start walking I was bed ridden, or couch ridden since my bedroom was upstairs and I couldn't get up there. I ended up gaining quite a few pounds but then I got it back off after I was able to walk again. My next series of gaining weight was when me and my boyfriend (who by the way doesn't seem to gain weight) started eating fast food like every single night. I am trying to get out of that habit now. And when I quit smoking in November of 2010, that didn't help with my weight at all. I wouldn't quit eating. And that is about where I am at today. I can't seem to quit eating. The past 2 or 3 weeks though I have been working on my appetite. I am really trying to control it. I was seriously addicted to soda also but I have been off of them for almost 3 months now. (: This site helps me count my calories and keep up with how mayn I've eaten and burned off. I am hoping that now I can have the willpower to get healthy. (: I am more than willing to make friends on here that will motivate me. I dont' want anyone to put me down though because I have enough of them types of people in my life already.
