in Introduce Yourself
Hey i'm shelbye. I'm 20 and in college and had some health problems and bad diet choices in the last couple of years that caused me to gain 100+ lbs, now i am trying to lose about 125 lbs and i need some help and support, i'd love to make some new friends on here, since my real life friends keep telling me i'm over reacting.

    I understand, everyone says I look fine but the reality isI don't feel fine, I feel unhealthy. I don't want and can't afford new clothes and my legs are killing me from carrying myself around. lol... Good Luck, I don't think you are overacting.

    Hi Shelbye! I just started here about a month ago and they are all right; this is a great community of supportive people who will encourage you and keep you motivated. My friends in real life have pretty much become non-existent and I have found some amazing friends on here. Feel free to add me! I'm on here every day :)

    ...get what's yours! Sometimes people say that because they love you and don't see you as needing to lose weight, or don't want you to feel bad about yourself, sometimes they don't love you and prefer you to stay as you are because of vain competition... Either way, girl, get what's yours.. You know what's going to help you be the best you. Love yourself first...
