in Introduce Yourself
This isn't (really) a New Years Resolution thing, I've been dieting since August, but I've never introduced myself here. My name is Moriah, but everyone calls me Mori. I just turned 18 last month. I've been overweight my whole life. I live in Florida, and I'm the 'fat friend' among my friends, which I don't want to be anymore.
I have a fandom tumblr, and fitness tumblr (fatgirl-rising.tumblr.com if you're interested), which is where I spend most of my time. I watch a lot of TV shows and get emotionally invested in them. I also loving comics, and most of the things I do are influenced by Stephanie Brown. Laci Green is my idol (which is basically me say I'm sex positive, body positive, gender positive, and basically a social justice blogger but not an obnoxious *kitten* one).
I have mild social anxiety so I'm not really good at talking to people, but I'm way better online than I am offline.
BASICALLY, I'm just looking for some people to talk to and to help motivate me, preferably around my age, but I'm not incredibly picky.

    Hi Moriuh. This is my first time on the message boards here and your the first person I have comminucated with on here. I also live in florida! I joined MFP in April 2011 but didn't stick to it. I have been off track for quite awhile and am ready to get back on. I'm like you and have spent all my life overweight. I lost quite a bit over 5 years ago but it;s slowly creeping back up on me. My main focus I want to work on is getting and staying in shape. Weight loss that comes with it I'm taking as a bonus :). I just want to feel better about myself and how my clothes fit. Thats one of my problems too, this florida heat. It deters my workouts b/c I hate being so sweaty and having to wash my hair everyday. But I guess I need to suck it up and get over it. lol. Now my complaint is it's too cold in the morning...smh I need to stop making excuses already. I just re-downloading this app yesterday and this time I'm sticking to it! It's day 2 and going well. I feel better already! I have been getting motivated see women who have lost wieght on pinterest and this great blog I have found NIK GETS FIT. She has been a great motivation especially on her fb fan page. There are so many encouraging and inspiring women. Nice to know I'm not alone.

    I understand the anxiety I have a few forms of it especially socially. I have found on here everyone is friendly and some have similar goals.
