    2012

    - Joined MFP
    - Lost 13 lbs (not a lot but it's more than half the weight I want to lose so I'm happy about it)
    - Learnt to have a healthy lifestyle.

    - Started looking forward to the future again.
    - Started doing things and stopped being passive and miserable.
    - Found Happiness, Strength and Confidence again.
    - Met an incredible man who became kind of a father figure and made me achieve all the aboves.

    - Did good at uni
    - Passed my driving test
    ...
    & I'm sure I'm forgetting things! :)

    2013:

    I just want to stay on this path, finish losing the weight and enjoy life more and more.
    Hopefully meet my goal weight before May and spend all spring/summer in a bikini until I get so tanned that I look black (and I'm pretty pale so it'll take a while) lol. It's just to make up for all these years I've been hiding under my clothes at the beach!

    I'm just glad to be done with hair school. I hated that place more than anything, and that includes junior high & high school. I spent most of 2012 being there and now I'm done and hundreds of miles away from that place. I am so happy I never have to go back there ever again.

    Also, I finally trounced my belief that I have to eat 500 cal/day and exercise three hours a day to get skinny. And I gained a lot of independence and confidence from being on my own and away from my toxic family.

    Pretty much I got my head on straight this year and that is priceless.

    A few in the win column, a few in the regret column. All in all, not a bad year. I still believe 2013 is going to be better.
