Hey y'all :)

Hi, I'm RN514!

I'm 22, I'm a registered nurse, and I'm horribly uncomfortable with my body. In January of this year I hit my highest weight. I was miserable, humiliated, and struggled daily to have any amount of self confidence. I have since lost 22lbs! I am not quite as miserable although I'm still slightly horribly uncomfortable with my body.

I started this get healthy thing for real in late March. As a RN it's embarrassing to educate patients on the dangers of being overweight while you're 65lbs too heavy yourself. I have many reasons, motivations & inspirations for wanting to reach my goal weight. A lot of them are too personal to post on a message board. One less private reason is this: A while ago I was talking to a patient about their recent significant weight loss. The joy, the pride, the excitement they had towards their self was amazing! I can't wait to have that kind of self satisfaction towards myself!

Anyway, it's hard doing this alone. The people on my friends list are family. They all have not logged on in ages. I need friends and people who post regularly who can help support me & who I can be an encouragement to as well! Feel free to add me or message me if you want to be friends Oh, and forgive the ironic mirror pic. I guess I had to find humor somewhere -if you really knew me, you would know mirror pics are usually not acceptable.
