Hi! I'm trying to make friends on here for support so please feel free to add me if you want to talk. :) I dont check the forums often but i wanted to share. (Im skipping a ton of details for personal reasons lol).

Here I am before my weightloss, wearing a size 22.

My life was an absolute living hell before I lost the weight, full of rejection & set backs. Everything from PTSD to severe anxiety to body dysmorphic disorder & many other struggles. I didn't think Id live to see my 21st birthday. In all honesty, I dont think I wanted to either.

Here I am one year later...wearing a size 2:

IF YOURE STRUGGLING; KEEP FIGHTING. DONT LET GO. IT IS WORTH IT. Losing weight was the best choice Ive ever made for MANY different reasons. I live an INCREDIBLE life today. I hate to say it but being thin has opened up many different doors of opportunities for me. Weight loss isn't just a physical change.



Everyone always asks if I had lapband or any other weightloss surgery, & the answer is no. I didn't follow any fad diets, either. All it took was calorie counting & exercise. I ate whatever I want, but in smaller portions to control my calories. I knew if I restricted myself of certain foods I'd fall off the bandwagon quickly. As for exercise - I began walking 3 miles everyday. I discovered I love exercising while listening to music, as it's quite relaxing. So I stuck with that, lowering my calories & upping my miles each month. At one point I was walking 9 miles a day with ease!

    Congratulations, you look great! You were headed in the right direction with the pics, but make sure and include HTML tags when inserting, for example:

    "<img src="http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/418379_338070522948091_2106734206_n.jpg&quot; alt="" class="user_inserted_image">"

    Awe thank you so much everyone. There was honestly a time when i felt SO fat and ugly that I quit leaving my bedroom. Being overweight/obese is a nightmare & I don't think anyone who's never been there would understand. I love MFP.
