in Introduce Yourself
I'm Kate. And I've always been bigger. Even as a child, I was chubby. And it just escalated from there. When I was 20 I became very good about keeping my weight loss and lost close to 40 pounds. I felt great, and I looked better than I ever had (though not quite where I wanted to be.)

But 2011 was a year of BIG change for me. I moved out of my parent's house to Las Vegas. The change was stressful enough, but I struggled to find a job. The stress led to over eating and I slowly began to gain weight again. And then the stress of having a job added to it. I ate out more because I was exhausted after work.

Recently my boyfriend of two years moved in with me. (We'd been long distance that whole time.) Now we go out to eat and it feels like all of our activities are focused around food and laziness.

I have now gained back all but three pounds that I had lost when I was 20 and I want to see it gone plus some. It's my turn to be the skinny girl.

I'd love to have some support buddies! It definitely helps! So glad to be on this site about to start!
