in Introduce Yourself
Hello! My name is vanessa and I have been struggling with my weight since childhood. I was the kid that was always pointed at and laughed or asked by other kids if I was pregnant (age 12!). I had certain family members who were always pointing out how overweight I was and often telling me what on my plate was bad for me...in front of everyone else.
Needless to say, I grew up with body issues and bad eating habits.
I recently found out that I have thyroid issues and would very much like to change my eating habits, not just to lose weight, but to just feel healthy. I am going to school for Environmental Science and I do not want to sit behind a desk. I want to be out there in the field!
I am THE best at giving myself a reason to not exercise...

I am (fairly) new to mfp and hope I hear from someone....I KNOW there has got to be other people like me!

Regards
Vanessa

    Vanessa:
    I would love to be a part of your support system here at MFP. There's something to be said for the encouragement that your support system can give you to help you stay focused on your goals. I have never written much about myself here, haven't taken the time to. My goals are to lose 5 lbs, get lean, decrease body fat. I will provide you with support and hope that you will provide it for me even though my goals are different from yours.
